APPLICATION
Apply product on dry substrates when air and surface temperatures 
are between 35°-90°F (2°-32°C) and will remain between 35°-90°F 
(2°-32°C) for at least 4 hours after applying. Do not paint when rain or 
heavy condensation is expected. Stir paint occasionally. Intermix containers  
of same product to ensure color and sheen uniformity. On semi-smooth 
surfaces, use a high quality 3/8-1/2" nap roller cover, nylon/polyester 
brush or an airless sprayer (.015-.021" spray tip, 60 mesh filter). On rough 
surfaces, use a high quality 3/4-1" nap roller cover. Do not thin if using a 
roller or brush; however, if using a sprayer and thinning is required, thin 
with water at a rate of no more than 1/2 pint per gallon. Certain colors 
may require additional coats for complete hide. On heavy stains and 
woods that contain tannins, allow 12-16 hours of dry time between 
coats. Cooler temperatures or higher humidity may prolong drying time. 
After 4 weeks, cured paint film may be cleaned with a mild, non-abrasive 
liquid detergent. Dry paint film is mildew resistant. When applying to 
vinyl, color choice must be the same color or lighter than the existing 
color. Do not use on floors.
