SURFACE PREPARATION
Surfaces must be clean, dry, sound and free of nay
contamination, mildew, rust or unsound coatings that may
interfere with adhesion. If unsure, wash the surface with a
low suds cleaning solution or a TSP substitute. For urine
odors, avoid using ammonia. Rinse thoroughly and allow
to dry.
Houses painted before 1978 may contain lead.
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

PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.) .
APPLICATION
Odor Killing Primer is designed for interior use only. Mix
thoroughly. Apply when air or surface temperatures are
between 40°F (4°C) and 90°F (32°C) and the relative
humidity is less than 85%. Use adequate ventilation during
application.
Brush Goods - Apply using a brush, roller, or airless
sprayer. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when
using spray equipment. For airless spraying use a 0.017”
tip at 2000 to 2500 psi. If thinning is required, add no more
than 10 fluid ounces (295 mL) of clean water per gallon.
For severe problem odor areas, apply a second coat.
Coverage is dependent on substrate porosity and surface
smoothness.
Aerosol – Use at room temperature (70ºF) in a well
ventilated area and avoid application in high humidity.
Shake can vigorously until the ball inside the can rattles.
Turn can upside down and continue shaking for one
minute and shake occasionally during use. If ball does not
rattle, do not strike the can. Contact Rust-Oleum. Spray
10-12” from object and apply multiple coats with short,
light strokes allowing the product to become tacky
between each coat. If the valve clogs, twist and pull off
spray tip and rinse in a solvent such as mineral spirits. Do
not insert any object into can valve opening.
FLOOR/SUB FLOOR USE
Odor Killing Primer provides a flexible and resilient finish
which works well with the natural movements of flooring
materials. When using this product on floors that will be

product, a topcoat is not necessary.
TINTING
When topcoating with paint, improve the hiding by tinting
Odor Killing Primer towards the finish color with a

per gallon. Shake container well before use.
APPLICATION NOTE
When applying a finish color over Odor Killing Primer,
always pre-test in an inconspicuous area before
