New galvanised Steel Chassis are left with a greasy film over the surface. These contaminants affect adhesion of coatings, even the ability of Acids top etch the surface. If you do not wish the prepare the surface using T Wash then we recommend using our GIO product. You will still however need to degrease prior to use for maximum adhesion.
Buzzweld T-Wash is used pre-paint in preparation for coating with almsot any metal primer. T-wash is used to neutralize hydroxides and carbonates on the galvanised surface, stabilising the surface, and alloing coatings to adhere as if the product was steel. This etching process promotes adhesion of the paint to the galvanised surface.
How To Apply T Wash
- Clean and degrease the surface using FX Degreaser.
- Rinse with clean, fresh water.
- Once dry, apply Buzzweld T-Wash by sprayer, and work in with a brush.
- After some time, the solution will turn the surface black or dark grey, indicating that the proper reaction has taken place. Any light areas will need to be retreated to ensure the etching process is complete.
