detergent, or other suitable cleaning method. Rinse with
fresh water and allow to thoroughly dry. Remove loose
paint and rust with a wire brush or sandpaper. 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.
Removal of old paint by sanding, scraping or other means
may generate dust or fumes that contain lead. LEAD IS
TOXIC. Contact the U.S.EPA/Lead Information Hotline at
