To achieve the best professional results while also ensuring safety and compliance, operators should follow a set of practices based on both field experience and SDS guidelines:

• Surface Preparation – While Krylon Quik-Mark Water Base Inverted Paint is designed to adhere to a range of surfaces including asphalt, gravel, concrete, and grass, performance improves if loose debris, oils, or dust are removed first. A clean surface allows for sharper, more visible lines.

• Shake Thoroughly – Cans should be agitated for at least one minute before use and re-shaken during application. This prevents clogging and ensures that pigments are evenly distributed, resulting in consistent colour and coverage.

• Application Technique – Hold the can 10–15cm from the surface and spray in steady, overlapping passes. For highly porous substrates such as unsealed concrete or rough soil, a second pass may be required to achieve strong visibility. Accessories such as line marking wands, trolleys, and stencils help create uniform lines, minimise operator fatigue, and reduce wastage.

• Safety Protocols – Krylon Quik-Mark is classified as a hazardous, flammable aerosol (UN1950, DG Class 2.1.2A). Users should:

  • Avoid spraying near ignition sources or open flames

  • Apply only in well-ventilated areas

  • Wear protective gloves and eye protection when handling large volumes

  • Store cans below 40°C and never puncture or incinerate, even when empty

• Disposal – Small amounts should be absorbed with inert material (such as sand) and disposed of in accordance with local regulations. Do not wash product into waterways.

By following these best practices, contractors and facility managers ensure that markings are both effective and safe, while also maintaining compliance with New Zealand’s hazardous substance regulations. For additional guidance, contact Arandee directly for SDS documentation or project-specific advice.
