use any dry erase markers to draw or write messages and
then erase. Application is easy and it has minimal odor
making it safe to use indoors. Dry Erase is ideal for use on
interior surfaces such as drywall, Masonite, wood, cement
and metal. Not recommended for use in commercial
applications. For Commercial applications, please refer

SURFACE PREPARATION
Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of dirt, grease and
oil. Remove all dirt, grease, oil, salt and chemical
contaminants by washing the surface with detergent or
other suitable cleaner. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water
and allow to fully dry. Lightly sand the surface that is to be
painted. Remove dust from sanding with a lint-free cloth.
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 DAMGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN.
PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO AVOID
EXPOSURE. Wear a 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
protect yourself and your family by contacting the
U.S.EPA/Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or
log on to www.epa.gov/lead.
.PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.) .
MIXING
Briefly stir each can before mixing. Pour Part A into Part B
and stir thoroughly until the paint is uniform in color (about
2 minutes). No waiting time is required after mixing.
IMPORTANT! Apply activated Dry Erase Paint within 1
hour of mixing.
APPLICATION
Apply only when air and surface temperatures are
between 50-90ºF (10-32ºC) and the relative humidity is
below 85% to ensure proper drying. If applying dry erase
on a new piece of drywall, Masonite, cement, or wood, use
a white latex primer first, following the manufacturer’s
directions. A primer is not needed for existing drywall that
is already painted or on metal surfaces. With painter’s
tape, tape around the area you wish to paint before
beginning. Pour paint into a paint tray. Use a dense foam
roller that is designed to give a smooth finish. For smaller
surfaces, use a foam brush.
For best results, apply over a white or light colored surface
with a minimum of 2 coats. When applying over darker
surfaces, 3 coats are recommended. The surface dries to
the touch in 1 hour. After 1 hour, remove painter’s tape
that was used to mask the area. Then allow the Dry Erase
surface to cure for 2 days before applying any markings.
Once fully cured, Dry Erase markers may be applied to the
surface and then wiped off with an eraser or lint-free cloth.
If after erasing, a hint a marking remains, simply use a dry
erase cleaner or any other general household cleaner to
remove marks. Do not use abrasive cleaners, pads, or
cloths. Let surface dry before using dry erase markers
again.
DRY & RECOAT TIMES
Dry and recoat times are based on 70°F (21°C) and 50%
relative humidity. Allow more time at cooler temperatures.
Recoat after 20-30 minutes.
CLEAN-UP
Clean brush and other application tools immediately with
soap and water.
