PRODUCT APPLICATION .
SURFACE PREPARATION
Remove all dirt, grease, oil, salt and chemical
contaminants by washing the surface with a commercial
detergent or other suitable cleaning method. Rinse
thoroughly with fresh water and allow to fully dry. All
surfaces must be dry at time of application. Scrape and
wire brush or power tool clean to remove loose rust, scale
and deteriorated previous coatings.
Previously coated surfaces must be sound and in good
condition. Smooth, hard, or glossy finishes should be
scarified by sanding to create a surface profile. The
Painter’s Touch
®
Enamels are compatible with most
coatings, but a test patch is suggested. WARNING! If you
scrape, sand or remove old paint from any surface, you
may release lead paint 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.
PRIMING
Use of Painter’s Touch
®
Primer provides a sound base for
topcoat adhesion and is especially recommended for bare
wood and metal. Recommended primers include 1980502
Gray and 224430T White Primers.
APPLICATION
Apply only when air and surface temperatures are above
50°-90°F (10-32°C) and humidity is below 85% to ensure
proper drying. Before using, stir thoroughly to ensure any
settled pigment is re-dispersed. Thinning is not required.
In hot, dry conditions, thin with up to 2 ounces of water per
quart to extend dry time. Avoid painting in direct sunlight
or on hot surfaces. Use a good quality synthetic brush.
Avoid excessive brushing as this will reduce film thickness
and protection. Use light even strokes to ensure smooth
and uniform flow.
DRY & RECOAT TIMES
Dry and recoat times are based on 70°F and 50% relative
humidity. Allow more time at cooler temperatures. Dries to
touch in 30 minutes, dry to handle in 1 hour, and fully dry
in 2-4 hours. Primers may be top coated after 2-4 hours.
CLEAN-UP
Clean brush and other application tools immediately with
soap and water.
