- Applications
Drying Time: (75ºF. & 50% R.H.)
- To touch: 40 Minutes
- 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
- 1.4 mils Dry Film Thickness
When calculating working coverage, allow for application losses, texture and porosity of surface, application technique, etc.
- Surface Preparation
Surfaces must be dry, clean and free of dust, dirt, grease, oil or any other contaminants that may prevent proper adhesion. All loose paint must be removed and glossy surfaces dulled by sanding. Plaster surfaces must be well cured, and porous masonry surfaces should be filled with block filler. Tape joints and nailheads on drywall should be sanded and dusted clean before finishing. Mud on joints and nailheads must be thoroughly cured before finishing to help avoid photographing. Galvanized surfaces shall have all oils removed prior to application of coating.
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
- Priming Recommendations
- New work
- Wood surfaces (interior): enamel undercoat, 231.
- Wood surfaces (exterior): primekote, 111; primeguard, 112.
- Rough masonry/concrete block: gripcrete surfacer, 179; gripcrete hd block filler, 181.
- Smooth masonry/brick: gripcrete masonry/plaster primer, 166.
- Metal, ferrous: metalguard, 330.
- Metal, non-ferrous: metalguard acrylic dtm primer/finish, 338.
- Repaint surfaces: may be applied over existing coatings only after sample applications have been made to check the sensitivity of the existing coating. Surfaces must be primed and properly prepared if sensitivity or lifting occurs.
- Application
Mix thoroughly before use. Apply by brush, roller, or airless spray or conventional spray. Flow and leveling is best achieved by applying a full, uniform coating and working to a wet edge using overlapping strokes. Do not brush or roll excessively. Surfaces should be dry prior to paint application. Reducing material for spray application should not exceed 10%. All products are formulated ready for application. If needed, thin sparingly and do not exceed 2oz per gallon. Clean all applicators with water immediately after use.
