What should I use for cleanup when using BlackTop?

There are two separate scenarios: cleanup of uncured BlackTop, and cleaning a surface before applying BlackTop. The right product is different for each. Use KBS #1 Thinner or lacquer thinner to clean up uncured BlackTop. For surface prep, only use a water-based cleaner like KBS Klean. Solvent-based cleaners leave behind a residue that can hinder adhesion and appearance.

Pro Tip: Thinning or Reducing BlackTop?

Only use KBS #1 Thinner or Xylene when thinning or reducing BlackTop. Other thinners can negatively affect the finish and performance of the coating.

Before you begin, review the complete BlackTop application instructions for full prep, thinning, and coat guidance.
