SURFACE PREPARATION
WARNING! Removal of old paint by sanding, scraping or other
means may generate dust or fumes that contain lead. Exposure to
lead dust or fumes may cause brain damage or other adverse
health effects, especially in children or pregnant women.
Controlling exposure to lead or other hazardous substances
requires the use of proper protective equipment, such as a
properly fitted respirator (NIOSH approved) and proper
containment and cleanup. For more information, call the National
Lead Information Center at 1-800-424-LEAD (in US) or contact
your local health authority.
Preparation
To ensure proper adhesion, all surface
s must be clean, dry, and
free from dirt, wax, grease, oil, chalk, mildew and loose or peeling
paint. Nail holes, cracks and other surface imperfections should be
properly filled, sanded smooth and dusted clean. All mildew and
mold must be completely and thoroughly removed. Glossy
surfaces must be sanded and dusted clean. Always wear a
properly selected and fitted NIOSH/MSHA approved dust mask or
respirator when sanding.
New Wallboard/Drywall
Fill cracks and holes with spackling compound and sand smooth.
Joint compound must be cured and sanded smooth. Remove all
sanding dust.
Wood
Sand any exposed wood to a fresh, smooth surface. Patch all
holes and imperfections with wood filler or putty and sand
smooth. Remove all sanding dust.
Plaster (allow to cure for 30 days)
Must be dry, cured and hard with a pH <9.5. Treat textured, soft,
porous or powdery plaster with a solution of 1 pint of vinegar to 1
gallon of water. Repeat until surface is hard, rinse with clear
water and allow to dry.
Masonry/Aggregate Block (allow to cure for 30 Days)
Remove all surface contamination, including heavy chalk,
efflorescence, laitance and concrete dust, by washing with an
appropriate cleaner and allow to dry.
Metal
Wash with an appropriate cleaner to remove any surface
contamination. Remove all corrosion with sandpaper, steel wool
or other abrading method. Prime bare steel the same day as
cleaned.
Caulking
Fill gaps between walls, ceilings, crown moldings and other trim
with latex or siliconized latex caulk after priming the surface.
Mildew
Remove 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 the solution to remain on the surface for 10
minutes. Rinse thoroughly with water and allow the surface to dry
before painting. Wear protective eyewear, waterproof gloves and
protective clothing. Quickly wash off any of the mixture that
comes in contact with your skin. DO NOT ADD DETERGENTS OR
AMMONIA TO THE BLEACH/WATER SOLUTION.
