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

Rinse completely, let dry. Fill cracks and holes with
patching/spackling paste, let dry and sand smooth. Remove
sanding dust with a damp cloth.
Drywall: Wipe with a damp cloth to remove dust. Allow to dry. Fill
cracks & holes with spackling compound and sand smooth. Joint
compound must be cured and sanded smooth. Remove all sanding
dust.
Plaster: All new surfaces must be hard and cured according to the
supplier’s recommendations—usually at least 30 days. Treat
textured, soft, porous, or powdery plaster with a solution of 1 pint
household vinegar to 1 gallon of water. Repeat until the surface is
hard, rinse with water and allow to dry.
Wood: Sand any exposed wood to a fresh smooth surface. Patch
all holes and imperfections with a wood filler or putty and sand
smooth. Remove all sanding dust.
Acoustical Tile: Remove dust from tiles with a vacuum or by
dusting. In order to maintain the tile’s acoustical properties, apply
paint directly to the tiles; do not prime.
Masonry: Allow new masonry to cure at least 30 days. pH should
be less than 9. Clean old masonry with a wire bristle brush to
remove all loose concrete and efflorescence. Rinse thoroughly and
allow to dry. Fill rough surfaces, if desired, with block filler.
Caulking: Fill gaps between walls, ceilings, crown moldings, and
other trim with latex or siliconized latex caulk after priming the
surface.
Mildew: 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 the solution to
remain on the mildewed area for 10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly
with water and allow 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.
