PRODUCT APPLICATION .
PAINTING CONDITIONS
Use in a well ventilated area. Use when temperature is
between 50°F (10°C) and 90°F (32°C) and humidity is
below 85% to ensure proper drying. Avoid spraying in very
windy and dusty conditions. Cover surrounding area to
protect from overspray.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Complete any necessary surface repairs. For best results,
prime and seal the surface before painting.
WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint, you
may release lead 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

.PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.) .
TESTING SPRAY PATTERN
Practice spraying texture onto cardboard or scrap drywall
to determine the best distance and pressure to deliver the
preferred pattern.
APPLICATION
Shake can vigorously for one minute after the mixing ball
begins to rattle. If mixing ball fails to rattle DO NOT
STRIKE CAN. Contact Rust-Oleum. Shake often during
use. Hold can upright 24-36” from surface and begin
spraying in a circular or quick sweeping motion that evenly
covers the surface. Keep the can in motion while spraying.
For a heavier knockdown texture, spray in short bursts to
build up thickness. Allow to dry 1-5 minutes before lightly
flattening (knocking down) texture using a 6-8” large putty
knife. For best results, hold knife nearly parallel to the wall.
If necessary, texture can be scraped off when wet and
reapplied. Can be topcoated in 1-2 hours. Do not use
near open flame.
DRY & RECOAT TIMES
Dry times are based on 70°F and 50% relative humidity.
Allow more time at cooler temperatures. Dries to the touch
in 1-5 minutes, to handle in 10-15 minutes and can be
topcoated 1-2 hours. Allow more time for heavier textures.
CLEAN-UP
After use, turn can upside down and press spray nozzle
until the spray mist is clear to prevent clogging. Wipe off
tip before storing. Clean-up wet paint with water. Properly
discard empty container. Do not burn or place in home
trash compactor.
CLOGGING
If the valve clogs, twist and pull off spray tip and rinse it in
water. Do not stick a pin or other objects into the valve
stem.
