Q: How do I open the gallon bucket?
A: We made a video to help. See below.
Q: What surface can we apply Acoust-X to any surface?
A: Acoust-X is designed to be applied on wood, metal and concrete.
Q: How many coats do I apply?
A: We recommend 2-3 coats.
Q: How much coverage per qallon?
A; Approximately 50 to 75 sq feet per gallon
Q: Do you need primer?
A: No.
Q: Can I use coating in any temperature?
A: The surface temperature should be 65 degrees or greater.
Q: Can I use any brush to apply?
A: A chip brush is best. You don’t want it to be completely smooth. Stipled is better for sound damping.
Q: Can I use any spray gun?
A: You can use a hopper gun because the formula is too thick.
Q: Do I need to let the coating dry before I apply a second coat?
A: Yes, Acoust-X is water-based and can air dry depending on the temperature and humidity.
Q: Can I get Acoust-X in any colors?

Application Instructions:
The substrate must be clean and dry before you apply Acoust-X
For best results, apply in two moderately thick layers and allow to dry between coats. A stippled surface is more sound-dampening than a smooth surface, so don’t worry about trying to smooth the coating out too much.
Brush Application: Brush on a heavy coat at least three times heavier than typical paint and allow it to dry. Dabbing in the wet material helps create a rougher, more efficient layer. Apply a second coat if necessary after the first coat has dried.
Roller Application: Use a 3/4″ nap and up to a 1-1/4″ nap to create a thick, rough layer. Apply a second coat if necessary after the first coat has dried.
Hopper Gun: Use a large orifice and allow the Acoust-X to spatter the inside of the cabinet. Do not try to make the coating smooth. It works best with a rougher finish.
Coverage: Approximately 50 to 75 sq feet per gallon
(At 50 square feet per gallon, the yield will be 23 dry mils of soft, flexible, sound-damping coating)
