as babies and asthma/allergy suerers should minimize
exposure.

SURFACE PREPARATION:
All surfaces must be clean, free of dust, chalk, oil, grease,
wax, polish, mold and mildew stains, loose and peeling
paint, rust, and all other foreign substances.
New Drywall: All drywall surfaces should be suciently
sanded smooth. Remove any remaining drywall dust prior to
priming. Allow all drywall compounds to be completely dry
prior to coating.
New Wood: Remove mill glaze with sandpaper or use a
product such as BEHR PREMIUM All-In-One Wood Cleaner
No. 63 to open the pores of the wood and follow all label
instructions. For severe stains caused by mold, mildew,
algae and fungus, apple a mildew stain removing product.
Set nails and ll holes, scratches, and gouges with the
appropriate wood ller and let dry completely. Remove
all dust with a wiping cloth. Fill gaps with a 100% acrylic
siliconized, paintable caulking and allow to dry completely.
Patched and lled surfaces should be sanded smooth and
dusted prior to coating.
New Masonry: Allow to cure for 30 days. The pH must be
10 or lower prior to coating. Remove bond breakers and
all form release and curing agents. Smooth masonry may
require an adequate prole for adhesion. Remove all loose
aggregate and debris. If painting cannot wait 30 days or pH
level is above 10, allow the surface to cure 7 days and prime
the surface with an alkali-resistant primer.
New Plaster: New plaster should be thoroughly dried
out and cured for a minimum of 30 days before painting.
When cured, clean using a mixed solution of one part
vinegar and one part water to remove eorescence and
neutralize. Prime the area with an alkali-resistant primer.
Steel: Minimum surface preparation is Hand Tool Cleaning
in accordance with SSPC-SP2. Remove all oil and grease from
the surface with a solvent in accordance with SSPC-SP1.
For optimal performance, use Commercial Blast Cleaning
in accordance with SSPC-SP6. Prime the area with a rust-
inhibitive primer the same day as cleaned.
Galvanized Steel: Solvent clean new galvanized metal in
accordance with SSPC-SP1 to remove oil and grease from
the surface. Pre-treat with a phosphoric acid solution or
a commercially-available etching solution. Galvanized
metal that has been passivated with chromates or silicates
may require brush blasting in accordance with SSPC-SP16
to remove these treatments. Rusty galvanizing requires a
minimum of Hand Tool Cleaning in accordance with SSPC-
SP2. Prime the area the same day as cleaned.
Shop-Primed Steel: As there is potential for many forms
of contamination during storage and transport, a thorough
cleaning is always recommended for shop-primed surfaces.
Paint exposed areas, i.e., where shop primer is abraded,
with the same material as used for shop priming to comply
with SSPC-PA 1 for touching up shop-primed surfaces. Note:
Assess the integrity of the shop primer prior to application
