APPLICATION
Apply product on dry substrates when air and surface
temperatures are between 35°-90°F (2°-32°C) and will remain
between 35°-90°F (2°-32°C) for at least 4 hours after applying.
Do not paint when rain or heavy condensation is expected.
Stir paint occasionally. Intermix containers of same product to
ensure color and sheen uniformity. On semi-smooth surfaces, use
a high quality 3/8-1/2" nap roller cover, nylon/polyester brush or
an airless sprayer (.015-.021" spray tip, 60 mesh filter). On rough
surfaces, use a high quality 3/4-1" nap roller cover. Do not thin if
using a roller or brush; however, if using a sprayer and thinning
is required, thin with water at a rate of no more than 1/2 pint per
gallon.Certain colors may require additional coats for complete
hide. On heavy stains and woods that contain tannins, allow
12-16 hours of dry time between coats.Cooler temperatures or
higher humidity may prolong drying time. After 4 weeks, cured
paint film may be cleaned with a mild, non-abrasive liquid
detergent. Dry paint film is mildew resistant. When applying to
vinyl, color choice must be the same color or lighter than the
existing color. Do not use on floors.
