DIRECTIONS FOR USE
SURFACE PREPARATION
PREPARING PAINTED SURFACES FOR A
PROFESSIONAL FINISH
Spackle holes or cracks • Lightly sand glossy areas.
Make sure all areas are clean, sound and free of flaking paint or any
substances such as oil, grease, dirt…anything that will get between
your walls and your paint. Prepare Previously Painted Surfaces with
a GLIDDEN primer.
IT IS TIME TO PRIME - PREPARING UNPAINTED
SURFACES
WALLBOARD - Joint compound must dry for two days before you
apply a GLIDDEN primer.
WOOD - Set nails and fill holes with latex spackle. Sand lightly to a
smooth surface, dust clean, then prime with a GLIDDEN primer.
CONCRETE, PLASTER AND MASONRY - Cure for 30 days
before painting. “Slick poured” or pre-cast concrete needs chemical
cleaning or a light sandblasting. Thoroughly rinse with water and
allow to fully dry. Remove loose aggregate, and prime with a
GLIDDEN primer. For concrete block, fill with a latex block filler.
STEEL, GALVANIZED METAL AND ALUMINUM - Clean off
oils, then prime with an appropriate metal primer.
WARNING! If you scrape, sand, or remove old paint, you may
release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST
CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE,
ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD
ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear an NIOSH-approved respirator
to control lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a HEPA
vacuum and a wet mop. Before you start, find out how to
