TECHNICAL DOCUMENTS
The following steps are recommended for product performance.
- All surfaces must be clean, free of dust, chalk, oil, grease, wax, polish, mold and mildew, loose peeling paint, rust and all other foreign substances.
- If washing is necessary, use a non-soapy detergent or a TSP substitute, rinse well and allow to dry.
- Peeling or Checked Paint: Scrape off loose paint and sand to a smooth surface. Sanding or removal of paint containing lead is hazardous.*
- Glossy Surfaces: For maximum adhesion, scuff sand the surface thoroughly before priming.*
- Comes in a flat, white finish and is not tintable.
- Does not have odour blocking capability.

Application
- Eye protection is recommended. For spray applications, a small amount of water (no more than 1/2 pint per gallon) may be added. Do not thin for stainblocking applications.
- Only apply if surface, air and product temperatures are between 50°-90°F. Stir thoroughly before and occasionally during use. Apply using a brush, roller or sprayer.
- Brush – High quality Nylon/Polyester
- Roller – High quality 10 - 13 mm nap on smooth surfaces or 13 - 19 mm nap on semi-rough or porous surfaces.
- Airless spray – .015 - .021 tip / 60 mesh filter
- Prime the entire surface to ensure a uniform appearance of the topcoat.
- Stainblocking: After priming, test for stain bleed-through by applying the topcoat to a small section. Allow the primer to dry longer for heavier stain-blocking. If the stain bleeds through the topcoat, apply a second coat of primer and test again before topcoating the entire area.
- Coverage: 300 - 400 sq. ft. (27.87 - 37 m2) per gallon depending on application method and surface porosity.
