Yes, STEEL-IT can be applied to galvanised materials, but proper surface preparation is crucial for good adhesion and durability. Galvanised surfaces have a layer of zinc that can create adhesion challenges, so the recommended steps are:
- Clean the Surface – Remove any grease, dirt, or contaminants using a suitable degreaser or solvent.
- Abrade the Surface – Lightly sand or use a Scotch-Brite pad to create a rough texture for better adhesion. Be careful not to remove too much of the zinc coating.
- Apply a Primer (If Needed) – In some cases, using an adhesion-promoting primer suitable for galvanised metal can improve the bond.
- Apply STEEL-IT – Follow the standard application process, ensuring even coats and proper drying times.
