LizardSkin® Ceramic Insulation

LizardSkin Coverage Guidelines

How to calculate gallons needed:

• Measure length x width of all surfaces to be coated
• Add all numbers for total area in square feet
• Divide by 25 for LizardSkin® Ceramic Insulation or by 50 for gallons of LizardSkin® SC needed  

Note: If spraying LCI on both interior and exterior floor, spray .020 on interior floor, and .020 on exterior floor to achieve .040 total.  Recommended LCI thickness:  40 to 60/1000ths. Recommended LSC thickness: 20 to 25/1000ths

Typical Uses
LizardSkin® Ceramic Insulation is used by custom car, street rod, race car and truck builders as well as RV owners to reduce heat and noise transfer and seal unexposed body surfaces. When applied under fender wells, it can help prevent “starring” from stones and gravel. It is best applied with our special spray gun to a clean and dry primed or painted rust-free surface. Typical applications include firewalls, floor pans, transmission tunnels, doors, hoods, truck lids, under headliners, inside fenders, panel van walls and more. It may be painted if desired, with no loss of thermal or acoustic performance.

Important: Manufacturers Recommendations
For best results, LizardSkin must be applied with a recommended spray gun/nozzle at 50-70 psi air pressure. For specific recommendations, consult product label. Brushing is recommended only for small area touch up.

Typical Tools Required:

• LizardSkin® Super Pro spray gun kit
  
• Variable speed 3/8”-1/2” electric drill
  
• Box cutter or knife
  
• Compressed air source: 60-100 psi @ 5 cfm(min
• Access to water for cleanup
  

Surface Preparation
Surface to be coated must be clean, dry and free of rust or other corrosion. Mask areas not intended to be sprayed since coating will adhere to any unmasked area. Carbon steel surfaces require primer. Aluminum and stainless steel do not need primers but must be clean and dry.


Product Preparation/Mixing
LizardSkin® should be mixed thoroughly using a power drill with the mixer paddle bit.

• Open the container using the tear tab on the side of the top.
• Pull tab and remove lid.
• Mix LizardSkin® using variable speed drill and stir paddle bit at low rpm (300 or less) to a smooth consistency. (Normally 2-4 min.)
• Clean stir paddle in water bucket immediately after mixing. Replace lid on bucket until ready to spray.
• After mixing, lift mix paddle from LizardSkin.  If product drips off slowly, it is ready to apply.
