FlexCoat may be applied by brush, roller or spray.
3. What color and finish is FlexCoat?
FlexCoat is slightly off-white with a flat finish.

5. How do I clean my brushes and sprayer?
Mild soap and water.
6. Can I tint FlexCoat?
Yes. FlexCoat may be tinted with Supersaturated or Off Broadway. Supersaturated is preferred due to the heavier concentration of color.
7. Can I paint over FlexCoat?
Yes. FlexCoat’s matte finish is an excellent surface for paint.

No. FlexCoat is a flexible, flame retardant coating that forms an effective barrier against fire spread.
9. Over what substrates can I use FlexCoat?
You may use FlexCoat over all types of foam (including ethafoam, floral foam and bead foam) and on many other substrates that may need a flame retardant coating.
