Welding CARC-painted Surfaces
Never weld or use a cutting torch on CARC-painted surfaces. Heat releases toxic
gases, vapors and metal fumes that can cause lung damage. It can also cause severe
eye and skin irritation.
Sand or grind off any CARC paint from both sides of anything you plan to weld.
Remove enough CARC so that you have at least four inches of clearance around
the area to be welded on both sides.
Wet sanding will help keep the dust down, but you’ll still need to use a high-effi-
ciency respirator and eye protection.

Single-Component CARC
CARC topcoat is available as two-component and single-component paint. Two-
component CARC paint consists of a polymer resin and a curing agent that must be
mixed in a four-to-one ratio. That allows you to mix up only as much paint as you
need and save the rest for later use.
Single-component CARC already has the curing agent added, so the paint will
dry quickly once the can is opened.
