PRODUCT APPLICATION
READ ALL DIRECTIONS BEFORE BEGNNING PROJECT
Use when temperature is between 50°F (10°C) and 90°F
(32°C) and humidity is below 85% to ensure proper drying.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Remove all dirt, grease, oil, salt and chemical contaminants
by washing the surface with soap and water and let dry.
Remove loose paint and rust with a wire brush or sandpaper.
To enhance adhesion, lightly sand glossy or porous
surfaces. Remove any wax by lightly wiping the surface with
mineral spirits.
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.
PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.)
PRIMING
Priming is not required for most surfaces. In rare instances
when using a light color on wood types with heavy knotting
or on severely worn/bare cedar or oak, some discoloration
may occur due to tannin bleed. Use of an oil-based stain
blocking primer such as Zinsser
®
Cover Stain will provide
added protection to help prevent tannin bleed in these
instances.
APPLICATION
Stir thoroughly to ensure any settled pigment is re-dispersed.
Do not shake the can. Thinning is not required. In hot, dry
conditions, you may thin with up to 2 ounces of fresh water
per quart to extend the dry time. Avoid painting in direct
sunlight or on hot surfaces.
Use a high quality synthetic brush. Roller application is not
recommended. Avoid excessive brushing as this will reduce
film thickness and protection. Use light, even brush strokes
to ensure even flow and the smoothest finish. Only one coat
is required, but up to 3 coats can be applied for the desired
look.
DRY & RECOAT
Dry and recoat times are based on 77°F (25°C) and 50%
relative humidity. Allow more time at cooler temperatures.
Dries to the touch in 30 minutes and to handle in 1 hour.
May be recoated after 2 hours. Chalked Protective Topcoat
can be applied for added protection. Apply according to
instructions on the can.
DISTRESSING
This paint can be distressed if desired. To distress the
surface, lightly sand the surface with fine to medium grit
sandpaper or a sanding sponge. The more the piece is
distressed, the more the original surface will show through.
Wait 2 hours before sanding or distressing.
CLEAN-UP
Clean brush and other application tools immediately with
soap and water.
