inhibitive coating on iron railings, steel frames, piping, etc.

seals most porous surfaces. Bulls-Eye 1-2-3 traps most
stains in the primer film including graffiti, grease, rust, cedar
and redwood tannin, creosote, and asphalt stains.

PRODUCT APPLICATION
Surfaces should be clean, dry, sound and free of dust, dirt,
excessive chalky material, grime, grease, oil, wax, mildew,
wallpaper, adhesive or any contamination that may interfere
with adhesion. If unsure of cleanliness, always wash surface
with an appropriate ammoniated cleaning solution or solvent
(do not use TSP as a cleaner). Remove any peeling and/or
unsound coatings. Scuff sand bare aluminum. Sand any
remaining paint film edges smooth with the surface. Lightly
sand exposed exterior wood with 80 to 100 grit sandpaper to
remove loose or weathered wood fibers and mill glaze.

PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.)
SURFACE PREPARATION
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 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 start, 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 www.epa.gov/lead.
PRIMING
Use on all types of bare or painted surfaces including wood,
drywall, cured plaster, concrete, stucco and masonry,
aluminum, vinyl, steel, galvanized metal and PVC. It has
excellent adhesion to dense glossy surfaces such as enamel
paints and varnishes, paneling, laminates and ceramic tile
without sanding or de-glossing.
SEALING
Contains a unique resin that seals porous surfaces and
provides a smooth and even finish to extend the coverage of
topcoats and provide uniform and consistent sheen. It helps
bind chalky surfaces and is suitable for use on moderately
chalked aluminum or previously painted siding and trim.
STAIN BLOCKING
Bulls-Eye 1-2-3 Primer effectively blocks stains from grease,
handprints, asphalt, crayon, graffiti, rust stains, light water
stains and cedar or redwood bleed. Note: When priming
over bare cedar or redwood, allow 24 hours dry time before
painting. Certain applications may require a second coat of
primer. Prime severe water and smoke stains and block
associated odors with Zinsser B-I-N Ultimate Stain-Blocker.
