open windows and doors or use other means to ensure fresh air entry during application, drying, sanding, and/or abrading. If

properly used, a respirator (NIOSH approved with particulate pre-filter) may offer additional protection and should be used if

adequate ventilation cannot be provided; obtain professional advice before using. If you experience eye watering, headaches, or

dizziness during application or drying, increase fresh air or leave the area. 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 experience, get medical assistance immediately. In case of eye contact, flush immediately with

plenty of water for at least 20 minutes and get medical attention; for skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water. If swallowed,

get medical attention immediately.
