Preparing the Surface

New or bare surfaces: New wallboard and plaster should be fully cured and clean. If required, patch all holes and cracks; sand lightly and remove all sanding dust. New walls must be primed with an interior PVA primer. If you have chosen a darker suede color, we recommend tinting the primer to a similar color to ensure your desired results. Previously painted surfaces: All surfaces should be clean, dry and free of peeling and chipping paint. If required, patch all holes and cracks; sand lightly and remove sanding dust. Dull glossy surfaces with sandpaper or a liquid gloss remover. Remove all sanding dust and wipe with a damp cloth before applying this product.

Application

Mix well before and during use. Intermix containers of the same color. First Coat: Brush a 3" border (cut in) around the edges in front of your working area. Roll using a premium quality 1/2" nap roller. Work in 3' square sections, then roll with long strokes from ceiling to floor. Do not stretch this product. Allow to dry completely. Second Coat: Use a premium quality 3" or 4" polyester brush. Apply in a series of random "Xs". Start with larger "Xs" (about 1 foot in length) and overlap with smaller "Xs" (about 4-6" in length). Continue this process until the entire wall is covered. Refer to the brochure for detailed instructions and helpful hints.

Dry Time

Apply only when surface and air temperatures are 50-90°F (10-32°C). Dries to the touch in 1–3 hours. Wait 4 hours before applying a second coat.
