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. Previously Painted Drywall: Remove
all loose and peeling paint and all other foreign substances.
Clean any dirt and grease by scrubbing the surface with
a detergent and water solution, followed by a thorough
rinsing with clean water. Set nails and ll holes, scratches,
and gouges with the appropriate spackling material and
let dry completely and sand smooth. Remove all dust with
a wiping cloth. Fill all gaps with a 100% acrylic, siliconized,
paintable caulking, and allow to completely dry prior to
coating. Glossy Surfaces: For maximum adhesion, sand the
surface thoroughly before coating.
New Wood: Remove mill glaze with sandpaper. 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 all gaps with a 100% acrylic, siliconized, paintable
caulking, and allow to completely dry prior to coating.
Previously Painted Wood: Remove all loose and peeling
paint and all other foreign substances. Clean any dirt and
grease by scrubbing the surface with a detergent and water
solution, followed by a thorough rinsing with clean water. Set
nails and ll holes, scratches, and gouges with the appropriate
wood ller and let dry completely. Remove all dust with a tack
or wiping cloth. Fill all gaps with a 100% acrylic, siliconized,
paintable caulking, and allow to completely dry prior to
coating. Glossy Surfaces: For maximum adhesion, sand the
surface thoroughly before coating.
Wood: WARNING! Sanding or scraping pressure treated
lumber may be hazardous; wear appropriate protection.
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.
Previously Painted Plaster: Remove all loose and peeling
paint and all other foreign substances. Clean any dirt and
grease by scrubbing the surface with a detergent and
water solution, followed by a thorough rinsing with clean
water. Set nails and ll holes, scratches, and gouges with
the appropriate spackling material and let dry completely
and sand smooth. Remove all dust with a tack or wiping
cloth. Fill all gaps with a 100% acrylic, siliconized, paintable
caulking, and allow to completely dry prior to coating.
Glossy Surfaces: For maximum adhesion, sand the surface
thoroughly before coating.
Stainblocking: After priming, test for stain bleed-through
by applying the topcoat to a small section. If the stain bleeds
through the topcoat, apply a second coat of primer and
test again before top-coating the entire area. If bleeding
continues, a longer dry time of the primer may be needed
before top-coating.
Masonry: All masonry surfaces must be cured at least 30
days before painting. The pH must be 10.0 or lower prior to
coating. Smooth masonry may require an adequate prole
for adhesion. For all other smooth trowel concrete, create a
prole using a product such as BEHR PREMIUM®
Concrete & Masonry Cleaner & Etcher No. 991 or with
mechanical means. Remove loose aggregate and debris
using a product such as BEHR PREMIUM
Concrete & Masonry Degreaser & Cleaner No. 990.
