With an electric drill and two
mixers, one to mix side B, plus the combined mixture and a smaller mixer that will fit
into the 2" bung fitting of the blue side A , vigorously agitate both components
separately before mixing.
The mixing ratio is one to one. For
example: one gallon of component A to one gallon of component B. Always use the two
gallon calibrated mixing bucket that is transparent for clear visibility of the filling
marks.
Pour one gallon of component A into
the mixing container. Then Pour one gallon of component B and mix thoroughly for 30
seconds. Now let the mixture stand for four minutes until maximum gel has been reached. To
gauge how it is gelling, either shake the mixing container or tap it on the side with your
foot. You will see the mixture proceed to a jello like stage. When maximum gel has
occurred the mixture can be placed into the hopper of your spray gun. If it is too stiff
then it can be loosened by stirring with a stir stick for about 5 seconds but do not
overdo it. The material is now ready to apply.
At this point a two gallon mixture
has been prepared but that will not be sufficient to complete the bed of the truck. Clean
the inside of the mixing bucket by swiping down the side with a paper towel so that the
calibration marks are visible for the additional mixing required to complete job. Remember
that when mixing the second batch of material, the excess material left in the mixing
bucket will throw you off the ratio when you add components for the second batch. Remove
as much of the material from the bucket full of the first batch as possible. Accurately
estimate how far off ratio you will be. Add a small extra amount of the first component to
the second batch.

When your material has been properly
prepared you will have 30 to 45 minutes to spray all of the mix, after which time the
mixture will become to thick to spray and you cannot thin it with thinner.
.
Note: A Short bed will require 3 to 3 1/2
gallons of mixture. A full long sized bed will require a minimum of 4 to 4 1/2 gallons of
mixture.

For NEUTRAL the mixing ratio is:
one gallon of component A, one gallon of component B and 1 pint of component C. Or....one
part A, one part B and 1/8 part C if using different quantities.
Mix one gallon of A with
one gallon of B until the blend is even then add 16 oz of component C (one pint) and mix
for about one more minute. Let the mixture stand and gel for four minutes, once again
checking the gel consistency by either tapping the side of the bucket with your toe or
rapping it with the hand.
When maximum gel has occurred then
add two half pint cans of the desired,provided tint. Mix the tint until even, making sure
not to over mix as the mixture will become too thin.

| Mixing of the Ml-1000 A Component, B
Component and the Tint. |
Begin the mixing
process by pouring the Tint into the container of component B. Shake well and then pour
the container of component B into the container of component A. Mix for 20 seconds. Important:
Do not over stir the material as this will cause the material to be very liquid and drive
the material past it's gel state. If the material is over stirred wait until it returns to
a gel state. In the unusual event that this material does not return to a gel state then
use the material only on the floor and tailgate. If applied to a vertical surface in this
state it may have a tendency to slide or sag.
