WHERE TO USE
Over properly prepared uncoated and previously painted Interior and
Exterior surfaces. Ideal for Masonry, Stucco, Drywall, Galvanized Metal,
Ferrous Metals, Vinyl, Aluminum, Wood, Concrete and on glossy surfaces
or oil-based paint.
PREPARATION
All surfaces should be properly prepared and cleaned. Remove loose
paint, wash off chalk, dirt, and grease with detergent, rinse and allow
to dry. Remove mildew stains with a mildew stain removing product.
Scuff sand glossy and metal surfaces and repair imperfections. Remove
all dust with a damp cloth, allow to dry. Allow new masonry stucco,
concrete, concrete masonry units (CMUs), and split-faced block to cure
for 7 days and test pH prior to applying primer. The pH must be 13.0
or lower before coating. Remove efflorescence with a mixed solution
of one part vinegar and one part water, rinse thoroughly with clean
water and allow to dry. FOR EXTERIOR SURFACES: For new or uncoated
wood, use a product such as BEHR PREMIUM® No. 63 All-In-One Wood
Cleaner. Etch galvanized metal with a concrete and masonry cleaner
and etcher.
APPLICATION
Apply when air and surface temperatures are between 35-90° F
(2-32° C). 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). Stir
primer occasionally. 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. Spot prime patched areas first, follow
with a complete primer coat. Two coats may be needed over heavy
stains and tannin-rich wood. On stained surfaces, topcoat in 4 hours;
for heavy stains, topcoat in 16 hours. Topcoat within 30 days. Bright or
deep colors require a tinted primer. Have primer tinted close to topcoat
color with no more than 4 ounces of colorant per gallon.
