T-ARMOR

Tin snips or a "nibbler" type electric tool are recommended for field cutting T-Armor panels. Cutting the steel generates

slivers or metal chips. These slivers and metal chips must be immediately removed from the T-Armor panels because they

will damage the finish and shorten the life of the product.

One method of preventing this problem is to flip the T-Armor panels over when cutting. This allows the slivers and metal

chips to be brushed from the back side and avoids damaging the paint on the top side of the panels.

When cutting T-Armor panels, goggles must be worn for eye protection.

CAUTION

All product surfaces should be free of debris at all times. Installed surfaces should be

wiped clean at the end of each work period. Never cut panels over metal surfaces.

Metal shavings will rust on the surface, voiding the warranty.

All painted panels and flashings have a factory-applied baked-on finish. Handling and installing panels may result in

some small scratches or nicks to the paint finish. Touch-up paint is available in matching colors from Metal Sales. It is

recommended that a small brush be used to apply touch-up paint to those areas that are in need of repair. Touch-up paint does

not have the superior chalk and fade resistance of the factory applied paint finish and will normally discolor at an accelerated

rate. Aerosol paint should not be used because of the overspray that may occur.
