with a product such as BEHR PREMIUM PLUS Interior/Exterior Multi-
Surface Primer & Sealer No. 436.
APPLICATION

between 40-90°F. Do not use for exterior when precipitation is expected
within 24 hours after project completion. Stir paint occasionally. Intermix
containers of same product to ensure color and sheen uniformity. Use a
high quality 1/4-3/8” nap roller cover, nylon/polyester brush or airless
sprayer (.013-.017” spray tip, 60 mesh filter). Certain colors may require
additional coats for complete hide. Darker colors may require additional
dry time between coats. Cooler temperatures or higher humidity may
prolong drying time. After 4 weeks, cured paint may be cleaned with a
mild, non-abrasive liquid detergent. Do not use on floors.

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.
WARNING! Sanding or scraping pressure treated lumber may be
hazardous; wear appropriate protection.
CAUTION IRRITANT MAY CAUSE EYE, NOSE AND THROAT IRRITATION. AVOID CONTACT
WITH SKIN AND EYES AND AVOID BREATHING OF VAPORS AND SPRAY MIST. WEAR EYE
PROTECTION AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. USE ONLY WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. To avoid
breathing vapors and spray mist, open windows and doors or use other means to ensure
fresh air entry during application and drying. If you experience eye watering, headaches
or dizziness, increase fresh air. If properly used, a respirator (NIOSH approved for organic
vapor with P series particulate pre-filter) may offer additional protection; obtain professional
advice before using. A dust mask does not provide protection against vapors. Avoid contact
with eyes and skin. Wash thoroughly after handling. Close container after each use.
FIRST AID: If you experience difficulty in breathing, leave the area to obtain fresh air. If
continued difficulty is experienced, get medical assistance immediately. In case of eye contact,
