BlackTop Cleanup: Quick Facts

Tools and equipment: KBS #1 Thinner
Skin contact: KBS #1 Thinner or lacquer thinner, then soap and water
Clean up before it dries. BlackTop cannot be removed by any solvent once cured, so clean your brush, roller, or spray gun immediately after use.

KBS #1 Thinner is the correct cleanup solvent for BlackTop, both for wiping down tools and for flushing a spray gun. If BlackTop gets on your skin, remove it right away with KBS #1 Thinner or lacquer thinner, followed by soap and water; once it stains, only time will fully remove it. Note that lacquer thinner is for skin cleanup only. Never use lacquer thinner to reduce or thin BlackTop itself; the directions specifically call for KBS #1 Thinner or xylene for thinning.
