4.1 Determining the brightness of the TopCoat
1: Look again at the Question List on page 15/16. You have already completed this so you know
how much of the BrightnessBooster you have to add to the TopCoat: this is the number that you
filled in under “My BrightnessBooster Total”.
Enter the number again here. My BrightnessBooster Total: . . . . . . . .
2: Turn the closed bottle of BrightnessBooster upside down and
shake it for at least 15 seconds. Set the bottle on a flat
surface. Look at the scale (1-9) on the back of the bottle
(see illustration). Find the number that corresponds to the
number that you have just written in above for
“My BrightnessBooster Total”. This is the amount of
BrightnessBooster that you should add to the TopCoat.
3: Open the bottle and pour the correct amount of BrightnessBooster into the large container of
TopCoat. Stop now and then and set the bottle on a flat surface to check the amount that still
remains to be added. Slowly add the last amount of BrightnessBooster until the level in the
bottle reaches the calculated number.
4.2 Applying the top layer (TopCoat)
1: Stir the TopCoat mixture with a new stir stick for at least three
minutes. Afterwards close the big bottle tightly and shake it
well. Pour the mixture into the clean roller pan (see illustration).
Then continue by painting a second strip of about 50 cm.
Make sure that there is a slight overlap with the first strip
(see illustration c).
Always apply the paint fully “wet on wet”. For larger areas
(for example, an entire wall), make sure you have a long
enough handle on your roller. Repeat this until the screen
area is completely painted.
2: Attach the last new large roller cover of 15 cm (6”) to the roller.
Make sure the roller is completely covered with TopCoat and roll
it over the surface of the roller pan to distribute the paint evenly.
Apply the TopCoat over the entire area between the tape strips.
Tips
Important: Always paint wet on
wet! By this we mean the
following: Once you start applying
the topcoat it is very important
that you continue until the layer
is completely finished. Do not stop
in between.
You should only change the direction of painting on the tape border.
That means not on the screen! (see illustration d). Remove the
roller from the wall only when it reaches the tape strip. Do not
remove the roller from the wall if it is still on the screen (this can
leave behind a visible mark). (See illustration e).
3. After you are finished keep the tape strips on the wall. Let the TopCoat dry for at least 120
minutes. During drying, place the roller in the roller pan and make sure that it is covered with
sufficient paint to prevent it from drying out.
Tips
if you turn the projector on after
the paint has dried you can easily
see if the top layer (TopCoat)
has been smoothly applied.
4: Apply the second layer of TopCoat in the exact same
manner (see point 2). Important: Let this last layer of
TopCoat dry for a minimum of two hours and a maximum
of three hours. Carefully remove the tape strips. Make sure
that the tape does not touch the screen surface while you
are removing it!
Special Note: After two hours of drying time you can already project onto your new screen.
Make sure that you do not touch it, because you will leave behind visible fingerprints or damage
on the TopCoat!
5: Remove the rest of the TopCoat paint from the roller pan and clean it thoroughly until all of
theresidue is removed.
Apply the layer as follows:
Start in the upper lefthand corner.
Paint a strip that is about 50 cm
wide. Apply the paint evenly.
Always start with horizontal
strokes (see illustration a)
and then roll the paint on in
vertical strokes without stopping
in the middle of a strip (see illustration b). Always roll the paint on with even and smooth
movements.
4.3 Wait for screen to harden
It takes at least one week for the ABtUS coatings to sufficiently harden. During this week the
coatings will continue to improve in appearance. You will also notice that small irregularities
and stripes will disappear or become much less visible. The magnetic border (MagneBorder)
can only be attached to a completely dry and completely hardened top layer (TopCoat), so you
must wait one week before attaching the magnetic border (MagneBorder).
