Drying Time: (75ºF. & 50% R.H.)
- To touch: 1 Hour
- To recoat: 4 Hours
Extended drying time may be expected when conditions such as high humidity, high dew point, low temperature, etc. are present. Allow product to dry thoroughly before top coating
Theoretical Coverage:
Apply at 400 sq. ft./gal. to achieve- 4.0 mils Wet Film Thickness
- 1.2 mils Dry Film Thickness
When calculating working coverage, allow for application losses, texture and porosity of surface, application technique, etc.
- Surface Preparation
On drywall, all taped joints and nail heads should be sanded smooth and dusted. Patch all holes and cracks with an appropriate patching compound. Let dry thoroughly, sand smooth, and prime. Surfaces must be dry, clean, and free of dirt, oil, or any other contaminants.
Warning! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint, you may release lead dust. Lead is toxic. Exposure to lead dust can cause serious illness, such as brain damage, especially in children. Pregnant women should also avoid exposure. Wear a NIOSHapproved respirator to control lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a HEPA vacuum and a wet mop.

Mix thoroughly before use. Apply by brush, roller, or airless spray or conventional spray.
