- Preparation
Surface must be pressure washed with approved detergent prior to primer application. Surfaces must be clean, dry, and sound; contaminants such as dirt, dust, grease, wax, oils, soap film, mold & mildew, bond breakers, curing compounds, and loose, peeling paint must be removed before priming or painting. Remove all mildew by scrubbing with a solution of 16 oz bleach to one gallon water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry 24 hours before coating.
- Application
For exterior use only.
- Protective clothing, and eyewear should be used during application of this product.
- Always apply on a clear, warm sunny day.
- Apply in morning hours to allow maximum cure time.
- Application should be completed a minimum of 4 hours prior to sunset. Temperatures must be above 50 °F (for 24 hours) and rising, but not above 110 °F.
- Apply with brush or short nap exterior roller. Apply a smooth and continuous coat over all areas. Must be cured a minimum of 4 - 8 hours before applying APOC coatings. Fully cures in 4 hours at 70 °F & 50% relative humidity. Higher humidity, thicker films, poor air flow and lower temperatures will increase dry times.
- Coverage rate is 400 – 600 sq ft/gal, depending on surface type, texture, condition and porosity.
- Consistency : Brush or Roll
Clean-up : Clean tools with mineral spirits or paint thinner.
