Remove all dirt, grease, oil, salt and chemical contaminants
by washing the surface with a commercial detergent or other

remove loose rust, scale and deteriorated previous coatings.
WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint from
any surface, you may release lead paint dust. LEAD IS
TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE

ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN

PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.)
APPLICATION
Apply only when air and surface temperatures are between
50-100°F (10-38°C) and humidity is below 85% to ensure
proper drying. Before using, stir thoroughly to ensure any
settled pigment is re-dispersed. Thinning is not required.
However, in hot, dry conditions, you may thin up to ½ pint
with fresh water per gallon to extend to workable brushing
time.
Use a good quality brush. Avoid excessive brushing as this
will reduce film thickness and protection. Use light even
brush strokes to ensure proper coverage and the smoothest
finish. Use a good quality synthetic roller. Cover
approximately one square yard at a time. Roll away from
previously coated area and work back to it for a uniform
appearance.
DRY & RECOAT
Dry and recoat times are based on 70°F (21°C) and 50%
relative humidity. Allow more time at cooler temperatures.
Dries to the touch in 1-2 hours, to handle in 2-4 and can be
recoated after 1-3 hours. Topcoat with a brush on latex or
brush on oil based enamel in 1-2 hours and an aerosol in
16-24 hours.
CLEAN-UP
Clean brush, roller, and other and tools with soap and water.
