Answer- Marks made using LMM-6000 & LMM-14 are permanent. Marks made with LMM-6000 & LMM-14 are generally considered to be as tough as the metal they are applied on. Physical testing has shown them to be resistant to many common strong acids, bases, organic solvents and extreme heat or cold. LMM-6000 & LMM-14 also have good salt spray resistance, scratch resistance and QUV resistance.

Question- What metals does LMM-6000 & LMM-14 work on?

Question- How much thinner do I need?

Answer- In a brush on application the LMM-6000 & LMM-14 should be thinned 2 parts ethanol 1 part LMM-6000 & LMM-14 more ethanol if needed. We recommend a maximum thinning ratio of 1 part LMM-6000 & LMM-14 to 1 part ethanol for spraying. Ethanol can also be added to help aid in brushing, it will help brush marks flow out. MEK and acetone are stronger solvents; therefore less thinning will be needed when using these solvents.
