Application Tips
For best results, apply a thin, even layer of Octopus Blood Layout Fluid. Applying too much fluid can cause pooling, clumping, and an uneven coating, resulting in inconsistent drying.
Begin by thoroughly cleaning the metal surface. Apply a small amount of Octopus Blood Layout Fluid to the desired area using a standard paintbrush. Brush in long, smooth, consistent strokes to distribute the fluid evenly across the surface.
Continue brushing to achieve a thin, uniform coating, adding small amounts of fluid as needed. Once even coverage is achieved, allow the fluid to dry completely before marking your part.
