Stove Paint Application Instructions - Chesney's Wood Burning and Multi Fuel Stoves User's Installation Manual

11. Stove Paint Application Instructions

Chesney's stove paint is quality, fast drying high temperature paint for use
on wood, multi-fuel and gas stoves and other steel and cast iron products
with in-service temperatures to 650° C. This product is not recommended
for Vitreous Enamelled surfaces. Stoves, as supplied by the manufacturer,
can be successfully repainted but problems can occur if painting the stove
for the third time. Here it is necessary to remove most of the first two coats
in order that the final paint thickness is not too great. If in doubt please
contact Chesney's in advance of using this product for more information.
DIRECTIONS
Allow stove to go out and the surfaces to cool. Scrape off any loose paint.
Lightly sand any existing sound paint to provide key. Remove all dust, dirt,
rust and grease. It is essential that the surface is extremely clean. Protect
surrounding furnishings and carpet from spray mist. This aerosol is
designed to work at room temperature (20-25° C) and should be stored
inside for several hours prior to use. Before spraying, shake can vigorously
for 3 minutes after mixing ball rattles. This is especially important when
using light colours as these have more pigments to mix.
For best results the appliance also needs to have been stored in an
environment to room temperature (20-25° C) for several hours prior to the
painting process commencing. If painting steel flue sections then these will
also need to be pre-heated. Ensure work area is well ventilated and you
are not spraying near naked flames or any incandescent materials. Point
spray nozzle towards object. Hold can between 300-375mm (12"- 15") from
surface to be painted. Press spray firmly. Use steady even strokes. Several
thin coats give a better finish than one heavy coat. Do not apply more paint
than is necessary. If clogging develops, remove spray nozzle with a
twisting motion and clean. Never stick pins or sharp objects
into the can. Gently replace spray nozzle with a twisting motion pointing
away from you. After use, invert can and spray for a few seconds until no
paint, only clear solvent, escapes. This will clean the tube and spray nozzle
and allow for easier future use. During the painting process, while drying
and for the first 3 times you use your appliance, open windows, doors and if
necessary use fans to provide a fresh airflow, as the paint will give off
fumes and smoke during the curing process. Cure Process: Use kindling
only on the first two fires which should burn for 15-20 minutes with the
second burn being started whilst the appliance is still warm. A full fire
should be burnt for 45 · 60 minutes, again starting while the appliance is
still warm, then allowed to cool naturally. Your paint should have now cured
and no longer give off fumes or smoke. These application instructions must
be followed strictly for successful application of Chesney's stove paint and
the company can not be held responsible for incorrect storage, preparation,
application and usage.
