Spray preferred. Always mix Zinc Dust (55B) into liquid (55A). Hand or
mechanically agitate being careful not to mix so fast that air is entrapped.
Strain the mixture and place in mechanically agitated pot. Spray pot should
be on the same level or higher than the gun. If application is delayed 10 or
more minutes, clear the liquid hose. A mist coat is recommended when
topcoating to minimize bubbling.
