Surface Preparation
General – All surface areas to be painted should be clean, dry,
sound and free of all dirt, grease, oils, waxes, mildew and any other
surface contaminants that can cause paint failure. Dirt and chalk
should be thoroughly removed by scrubbing with warm soapy water.
Surface wax should be removed with a commercial wax stripper.
Grease residue should be removed with a grease and oil emulsifier.
Remove all loose chipping, cracking and peeling from previously
painted surfaces by hand scraping, sanding, wire brushing and/or by
use of power tool cleaning methods such as electric sanders,
grinders, etc. Remove any loose rust, mill scale, rust deposits from
metal surfaces by hand or power tool cleaning according to SSPC
Standards. Repair/replace any seriously damaged and/or
delaminated surface areas. Use over most glossy surfaces without
sanding.
Mildew – Surface areas affected by mildew should be thoroughly
hand scrubbed with a soft to medium bristle scrub brush and a
solution of one cup Tri-Sodium Phosphate or a nonammoniated
detergent cleaner mixed with one part household bleach* and three
parts warm water, per gallon solution, Allow solution to stand on the
affected surface areas for approximately 10 – 20 minutes, then rinse
thoroughly with clean water and allow 24 – 48 hours to dry.
*Follow bleach manufacturer’s instructions for safe handling and use
of bleach solution.
SPECIAL NOTE ON SURFACE PREPARATION:
Glossy Surfaces – Although Stix
®
is formulated to be applied to
hard to coat surfaces without the need for sanding, it is
recommended that proper surface preparation still be completed to
enhance adhesion properties. Surfaces such as Formica, ceramic
tile and glossy painted surfaces should be properly deglossed. Once
applied, allow Stix
®
to cure for approximately 3 to 4 days to achieve
maximum resistance to scrape off. However, Stix
®
may be
topcoated with a quality latex or oil-based finish within 1 to 2 hours,
depending on overall drying conditions.
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 a NIOSH-approved respirator to
control lead exposure. Carefully clean up with a HEPA vacuum and
a wet mop. Before you start, find out how to protect yourself and
your family by contacting the National Lead Information Hotline at
1-800-424-LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/lead
Application
Stix
®
may be applied by brush, roller, pad applicator, or airless
spray. Use a high quality nylon brush or a ¼” – ½” synthetic nap
roller cover. Do not thin. Do not apply when surface, air, or product
temperature is below 35°F. Do not paint in direct sun or on a hot
surface. If possible, plan your painting to avoid rain, moisture, or
high humidity for the first 24 hours of curing. Stop application a
minimum of two hours before rain or dew is expected. Do not paint
if surface temperature is within 5°F of the dew point.
When top coating with two component paints, allow 24 hours dry
time before painting. Always test questionable substrates such as
plastics, composites, Kynars, and polyester surfaces by applying a
small area for adhesion and top-coat compatibility before
proceeding with the entire job.
Airless Spray: Tip range between .013 and .017. Total fluid output
pressure at the tip should not be less than 2200 PSI. Preferred
pressure is 2500 PSI.
Clean Up
Clean brushes, rollers and other equipment with warm, soapy
water immediately after use. If dry, clean with lacquer thinner.
USE COMPLETELY OR DISPOSE OF PROPERLY. Dry empty
