SURFACE PREPARATION (The following steps are recommended for product
performance)
• All surfaces must be clean, dry and free of dust, grease, wax, peeling paint,
mold, mildew, wallpaper paste. If washing is necessary, use a non-soapy
detergent or TSP substitute. Rinse well and allow to dry.
• Peeling or Checked Paint: Scrape off loose paint and sand to a smooth surface.
Sanding or removal of paint containing lead is hazardous.*
*
WARNING If you scrape, sand, or remove old paint, you may release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC.
Contact the National Lead Information Center at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/lead.
• Glossy Surfaces: For maximum adhesion, scuff sand the surface thoroughly
before priming .*
APPLICATION
• Eye protection is recommended.
• For best results, use at room temperature. Cover adjacent areas to protect from
overspray.
• Shake can vigorously for 1 minute after mixing ball begins to rattle and often
during use. Hold can upright, moving from side-to-side while spraying lightly
and evenly about 12” from area being painted. Two to three thin coats produce
best results.
• Topcoat with water or oil-based paint after 60 minutes. NOTE: On some
surfaces, spot priming may cause a non-uniform appearance in the nal coat.
To avoid this, prime the entire surface.
CLEAN-UP & DISPOSAL
• Clear spray valve immediately after use by turning can upside down and
spraying until only clear gas is released. If spray nozzle becomes clogged,
remove and clean. Do not stick pins or wire into can opening.
• Replace nozzle with valve opening pointed away from you. Clean fresh
overspray with mineral spirits or paint thinner. Remove dried paint with paint
remover, but test small area rst to ensure paint remover does not damage
substrate.
• Please consider donating any unused product. For recycling or disposal
information contact your local household refuse collection service.
