3. Preparation and Storage of Alodine 1000 Solution
A. To 6 volumes of water in a clean polyethylene container add 4 volumes of Alodine 1000 liquid concentrate and stir thoroughly. Transfer the Alodine 1000 solution to small clean polyethylene bottles. These small polyethylene bottles shall be date stamped with the date of mixing and the solution shall be discarded 14 calendar days after making if not used. Alodine 1000 solutions are sensitive to all types of contamination; consequently the mixing and storage containers must be thoroughly clean.
4. Apply Alodine 1000 Solution
A. Apply Alodine 1000 solution using clean cheesecloth. The room temperature must be above 65 °F. Wipe on additional Alodine as needed to keep surfaces wetted for 2 to 5 minutes. Rinse thoroughly. Air dry. Do not touch parts until dry as fresh Alodine films are easily damaged.
WARNING: CLOTHS USED FOR APPLYING OR REMOVING ALODINE 1000 SOLUTIONS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO DRY OUT SINCE THEY ARE A FIRE HAZARD WHEN DRY. IMMEDIATELY AFTER USING THEY SHALL BE THOROUGHLY RINSED IN WATER, THEN IMMERSED IN WATER-FILLED STEEL DRUMS FOR SALVAGE OR SCRAP.

NOTE: A dirty solution is unsatisfactory. Prepare in small quantities and discard when old or dirty. If nondistilled water is used, control pH range of from 1.50 to 2.00 by addition of nitric acid for Alodine 1200. For Alodine 600 add 2 percent by volume of Alodine Toner 22 and stir to adjust the pH to between 1.5 and 2.0. Check range by the use of pHydrion papers #60781. Add no wetting agents or other materials to this solution.
