APPLICATION
Before using, stir thoroughly to ensure any settled pigment is
re-dispersed. If necessary, thin the material with xylene. Thin no
more than 5% by volume. Use a 6½” shed-resistant roller with
a 3/8” nap or a high quality brush with flagged (split) ends. F or
optimal results, use the roller to paint the entire door or paint the
recessed edges of raised panels and then use the roller for the
remaining flat surfaces.
One coat may be enough to fully cover both sides of the door .
For new and existing doors, we recommend painting the door off
the frame to allow the paint to dry completely before hanging. If
painting a hanging door, do not close the door until the paint is
fully dry to prevent it from sticking to the door frame.
DRY AND RECOAT TIMES
Dry and recoat times are based on 70ºF (21°C) and 50% rela tive
humidity. Allow more time at cooler temperatures. Dries to touch
in 1-2 hours, dries to handle in 4-6 hours, and can be recoated
within 1 hour or after 24 hours, and is fully dry in 24 hours.
