Alvin Lab Solvent: Metal Cleaner, Degreaser & Lab Metal Thinner
Alvin Lab Solvent is a professional-grade solvent recommended for cleaning, degreasing, and surface preparation before applying Lab Metal or Hi Temp Lab Metal. It also functions as a thinner for Lab Metal compounds and helps prevent hardening between uses.
What Is Alvin Lab Solvent Used For?
Alvin Lab Solvent serves three primary purposes: surface preparation, thinning, and preservation of Lab Metal products. It cuts through grease, oil, and dirt, removes paint quickly and effectively, and keeps Lab Metal and Hi Temp Lab Metal workable between applications.
How to Use Lab Solvent for Surface Preparation
Before applying Lab Metal or Hi Temp Lab Metal, use Alvin Lab Solvent as a metal cleaner and degreaser to ensure a clean, paint-free surface. Proper surface preparation improves adhesion and the overall quality of the metal repair or coating application.
How to Thin Lab Metal for Brushing or Spraying
To achieve a paint-like consistency suitable for brushing or spraying a metallic coating, add Alvin Lab Solvent to Lab Metal and mix until the desired consistency is reached. This allows Lab Metal to be applied as a thin, even metallic coating across larger or more detailed surfaces.
How to Prevent Lab Metal from Hardening in the Can
To prevent Lab Metal or Hi Temp Lab Metal from hardening in the can between uses:
- Wet the surface of the metal repair compound with a small amount of Alvin Lab Solvent.
- Cover the can tightly after each use.
This simple step extends the shelf life of Lab Metal and Hi Temp Lab Metal, protecting your investment and ensuring the product remains ready to use.
