Tannin Bleed & Stainblocking: After priming, test for
stain bleed-through by applying the top coat to a small
section. If the stain bleeds through the top coat, 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 topcoating or an
additional coat of primer may be required to block the
tannin bleed or stain.
Masonry: Stucco, Concrete, Cut Masonry Units (CMUs),
Split-Face Block: New: 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 concrete, create a prole using a product such
as a muriatic acid etcher or with mechanical means. Remove
loose aggregate and debris.
Masonry: Cement Composition Panels/Siding,
Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS) or
Synthetic Stucco: New: All masonry surfaces must be
cured at least 30 days before painting. The pH must be
10.0 or lower prior to coating. All surfaces must be clean,
free of dust, chalk, mold and mildew stains, loose and
peeling paint and all other foreign substances. Clean surfaces
with a detergent and water solution by scrubbing the surface
vigorously and rinse with a garden hose or a power washer at
a low setting (500-1200 PSI). DO NOT USE HIGH PRESSURE as
this may harm the substrate.
Previously Painted Surfaces: All surfaces must be clean,
free of dust, chalk, mold and mildew stains, loose and
peeling paint and all other foreign substances. Clean surfaces
with a detergent and water solution by scrubbing the surface
vigorously and rinse with a garden hose or a power washer
and allow to dry.
