GENERAL SURFACE PREPARATION
Surface must be dry and free from loose and peeling paint, dirt, mildew, form oil, curing compounds, loose or excess mortar, mortar spatter,
salt deposits, and other surface contaminants. Soft crumbly surface layers or previous coatings softened by water must be completely
removed. All large voids, cracks, and surface imperfections should be filled with a cement-sand grout. Surfaces of “hot” cement-sand grout
require spot priming with a PPG alkali resistant primer. Sand all glossy, rough or patched surfaces.
WARNING! If you scrape, sand, or remove old paint, you may release lead dust or fumes. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST
OR FUMES CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD
ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a properly fitted NIOSH-approved respirator and prevent skin contact 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 USEPA
National Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/lead. In Canada contact a regional Health Canada office.
Follow these instructions to control exposure to other hazardous substances that may be released during surface preparation.
CONCRETE/MASONRY BLOCK: Mortar should cure for at least 30 days and preferably 90 days prior to priming.
MASONRY: New masonry should cure for at least 30 days and preferably 90 days prior to priming and painting. The pH of the substrate
must be less than 10 before painting.
STUCCO: New stucco should cure for at least 30 days and preferably 90 days prior to painting. The pH of the substrate must be less than
10. Surface chalk from the curing or aging process should be removed.

PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED. Sanding and grinding dusts may be harmful if inhaled. This product contains crystalline sil-
ica which can cause lung cancer or silicosis. The risk of cancer depends on the duration and level of exposure to dust from sanding
surfaces or mist from spray applications. Do not breathe vapor or mist. Do not swallow. Do not get on skin or clothing. Keep container
tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Wash thoroughly after handling. Provide fresh air ventilation during and after application
and drying. Avoid the inhalation of dust, particulates, spray or mist arising from the application of this preparation. Use personal protec-
tive equipment as required. Note: These warnings encompass the product series. Prior to use, read and follow product-specific
SDS and label information. FIRST AID: If swallowed, rinse mouth with water (only if the person is conscious). Call physician imme-
diately. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. If in eyes, rinse with water for 15 minutes. Check for
and remove any contact lenses. If on skin, rinse well with water. Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation devel-
ops. If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If experiencing respiratory symptoms call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. Keep out of the
