- 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. Due to the wide variety of single ply membranes and raw materials used in their manufacturing process, always complete a peel adhesion test before starting.
- Application
For exterior use only.
- Protective clothing, gloves, 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 1/4 gallon per square (400 – 600 Sq ft/gal) depending on surface conditions.
- Consistency : Brush, Roll, or Spray
Clean-up : Clean tools with mineral spirits or paint thinner.
