Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Uses
Unpainted or previously painted Interior walls, ceilings, woodwork and trim surfaces as well as interior masonry, block, plaster, drywall, sheetrock, steel, and composition wallboard.
- Surface Preparation
- Surface must be clean, dry and free of dust, sanding dust, dirt, grease, oil, mold, mildew, lose wood fibers, flaking paint, chalk, soap residue, wax, corrosion, laitance, and all other contaminants or foreign matter that might impede adhesion. Existing peeled or checked paint should be scraped and sanded to a sound surface. Fill drywall cracks and holes with spackle or joint compound and sand smooth. Remove all sanding dust.
- Joint compounds must be cured. Bare plaster surfaces must be cured and hard. Textured, soft, porous, or powdery plaster surfaces should be treated with a solution of 1 pint of household vinegar to 1 gallon of water. Repeat until the plaster surface is hard. Rinse with clear water and allow plaster surface to dry. Wood surfaces must be structurally sound and completely dry. Patch all holes and imperfections with a wood filler or putty and sand smooth. New concrete, masonry, concrete block remove all loose mortar and foreign material. Concrete must be free of laitance, concrete dust, dirt, form release agents, moisture curing membranes, loose cement and hardeners. Concrete and mortar must be cured to the supplier’s recommendation - usually 30 days @ 75°F.
- Remove mildew before painting by washing with a solution of 1 part liquid bleach and 3 parts water. Apply the solution and scrub the mildewed area, allow it to sit on the surface for 10 minutes then rinse thoroughly. Wear protective eyewear, clothing, and gloves. Gaps between, ceilings, walls, crown molding, and other interior wood trim can be filled with appropriate caulk after priming the surface. Glossy surfaces should be sanded dull to promote adhesion.
- Stains from water, smoke, ink, pencil, grease, etc. Should be sealed with the appropriate primer/sealer. Recognize that any surface preparation short of total removal of the old coating may compromise the service length of the system. Warning! Removing existing coating from surface by sanding, scraping or other mechanical means may create dust or particles containing lead, a hazardous substance. Avoid creating and breathing dust and other debris. Thoroughly clean all surfaces before and after painting. Breathing or eating lead-containing dust or debris can cause health problems, especially in children and pregnant women. Controlling exposure to lead or other hazardous substances requires the use of proper protective equipment, such as a properly fitted (NIOSH approved) respirator and proper containment and cleanup.
- Applications
- Coverage will cover approximately 400 square feet per gallon on smooth sealed surfaces. Coverage figure does not include spray loss, loss due to surface porosity, surface irregularities, nor material loss when mixing. Mixing material does not require thinning. For color uniformity, inter-mix all cans together before use.
- Application stir each container thoroughly before using and occasionally while applying to keep uniform consistency and color. Apply evenly with a nylon/polyester, brush, 1⁄2” - 1” synthetic roller cover, or spray. When applying by roller, roll from the dry area into the wet area using firm crisscrossing strokes. Finish with long even strokes in one direction. For airless application, use a 0.15 to 0.17” tip @ 2000 psi. If spraying, always back brush or back roll immediately to ensure proper penetration and uniformity. Paint from a dry area in the adjoining wet coating area. Maintain a wet edge to avoid lap marks.
