..PAINTING APPLICATION .
SURFACE PREPARATION
Remove loose paint and rust with a wire brush or sandpaper.
Lightly sand glossy surfaces. Clean with soap and water, rinse
and let dry. WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint,
you may release lead dust.
WARNING! 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. Clean up carefully with a HEPA
vacuum and a wet mop. Before you sand, 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

..PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.) .
APPLICATION
Apply when temperature is between 50-90°F (10-32°C) and
humidity is below 85% to ensure proper drying. Before beginning
the project, tape around the area you wish to paint. Wear gloves
to prevent skin contact. Mix thoroughly to ensure any settled
pigment is re-dispersed. Thinning is not required. Stir thoroughly
regularly during application. Use a foam roller designed to give a
smooth finish. Apply the primer with an up and down motion and
work the area to give the smoothest finish. A smooth uniform
surface will provide for stronger magnetic attraction. Apply entire
quart to 16 square foot area.
DRY and RECOAT TIMES
Based on 70ºF (21ºC) and 50% relative humidity. Allow more
time at cooler temperatures. Dries to the touch in 30 minutes,
and will dry to handle in 1 hour. It can be recoated with itself in 30
minutes. Apply any latex topcoat after 4 hours. Three coats are
recommended. Application of more than two heavy coats of
topcoat will reduce the effectiveness of magnets. Wait 48 hours
to ensure the surface is completely dry and ready for use. One
quart of Specialty Magnetic Primer will cover 16 square feet with
3 coats.
CLEAN-UP
Wear gloves while cleaning application tools with xylene.
