Surface must be dry. Remove all loose, peeling paint, dirt, grease, and any other surface contaminants. Putty all nail holes and caulk all cracks
and open seams. Sand all glossy, rough and patched surfaces. Plaster, concrete and masonry surfaces must be completely dry, free of efflores-
cence and allowed to cure for 30 days prior to painting. This product is self-priming on new drywall. Prime all bare wood, plaster, masonry, and
porous surfaces with an appropriate PPG primer.

stances that may be released during surface preparation.
