paint, rust and all other foreign substances.
New Drywall: All drywall surfaces should be suciently
sanded smooth. Remove any remaining drywall dust prior
to priming. Allow all drywall compounds to be completely
dry prior to coating. Previously Painted Drywall: Remove
all loose and peeling paint and all other foreign substances.
Clean any dirt and grease by scrubbing the surface with
a detergent and water solution, followed by a thorough
rinsing with clean water. Set nails and ll holes, scratches,
and gouges with the appropriate spackling material. Let dry
completely and sand smooth. Remove all dust with a wiping
cloth. Fill all gaps with a 100% acrylic, siliconized, paintable
caulking, and allow to completely dry prior to coating.
Glossy Surfaces: For maximum adhesion, sand the surface
thoroughly before coating.
New Wood: Remove mill glaze with sandpaper. Set nails and
ll holes, scratches, and gouges with the appropriate wood
ller and let dry completely. Remove all dust with a wiping
cloth. Fill all gaps with a 100% acrylic, siliconized, paintable
caulking, and allow to completely dry prior to coating.
Previously Painted Wood: Remove all loose and peeling
paint and all other foreign substances. Clean any dirt and
grease by scrubbing the surface with a detergent and water
solution, followed by a thorough rinsing with clean water.

surface thoroughly before coating.
Wood: WARNING! Sanding or scraping pressure treated
lumber may be hazardous; wear appropriate protection.
New Plaster: New plaster should be thoroughly dried
out and cured for a minimum of 30 days before painting.

adhesion, sand the surface thoroughly before coating.
Stainblocking: After priming, test for stain bleed-through.
If the stain bleeds through the topcoat, apply a second coat
of primer and test again before top-coating the entire area.
If bleeding continues, a longer dry time of the primer may be
needed before top-coating.
Masonry: All masonry surfaces must be cured at least
30 days before painting. The pH must be 10.0 or lower
prior to coating. Smooth masonry may require an adequate
prole for adhesion. For all other smooth trowel concrete,
create a prole using a concrete etcher.

galvanized metal must be removed before it is painted.
Remove oil lm with a detergent and water solution.
For better paint adhesion, sand the surface with sandpaper,
steel wool, or by using a product with muriatic acid.
