Surfaces such as Formica®, ceramic tile and glossy painted surfaces should be properly de-glossed. Once applied, allow Insl-X Stix to cure for approximately 3 to 4 days to achieve maximum resistance to scrape off. However, Insl-X Stix may be top-coated with a quality latex or oil-based finish within 3 to 4 hours, depending on overall drying conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplication\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlways test a small area of the surface to be painted to ensure compatibility\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStix may be applied by brush, roller, pad applicator, or airless spray.
