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 NIOSH-approved respirator to control lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a HEPA vacuum and a wet mop.

Finishing Recommendations

Excellent choice under Eggshell, Satin and Semi-Gloss finishes. May be used as a primer under appropriate hallman/lindsay top coats.

Application

Mix thoroughly before use. Apply by brush, roller, airless, HVLP or conventional spray. Flow and leveling is best achieved by applying a full, uniform coating and working to a wet edge using overlapping strokes. Surfaces should be dry prior to paint application. Reducing material for spray application should not exceed 10%.

Equipment Requirements
  • Airless: Minimum ½ GPM with .017” tip at 2000 PSI
  • Conventional: Binks #7 gun, 38 needle, 36 air nozzle, 38 fluid nozzle, 9.3 CFM at 30 PSI
  • HVLP: Twin-stage turbine, 5–8 PSI, .051 to .070 projector set
  • Roller: ¼“ – ½” nap shed-7resistant cover or lambs wool cover
  • Brush: 100% nylon or synthetic blend
