HOW TO USE

  • Usage
    Interior drywall, cured plaster and previously painted surfaces
  • Prep
    Surface should be clean, dry and dull. Remove all contamination by washing with an appropriate cleaner, rinse thoroughly and allow to dry. Scrape and sand existing, peeling or cracking paint to a sound surface. Sand glossy surfaces.
  • Application
    Stir primer thoroughly before and during use. Due to the high-solids content of this material, a power agitator is recommended. Do not thin. Use a professional airless sprayer for high-build finish. A one-gallon-per-minute or larger, direct-immersion airless sprayer is recommended. Sprayers with suction tubes will also work, but will prime slower. Use tip size 525 or larger to meet necessary delivery rate and pattern size. Spray at a pressure of 2000 PSI at the gun, for best atomization and pattern, without excessive overspray. All screens and filters must be clean and in place. Float a small amount of water on top of the paint to avoid drying of paintand formation of skin during spraying. Apply up to 20 mils wet. Measure film thickness with wet-mil gauge for most consistent application. Apply only enough material to cover undesirable surface imperfections. May also be applied by polyester or nylon bristle brush, or 1/2"-1 1/2" nap synthetic roller, but will not achieve a high-build finish using these application methods.
