    Surfaces must be clean, dry and dull prior to application. Sand glossy surfaces dull. All dust should be removed. Thoroughly clean the surface and allow to dry. When solvent cleaning per SSPC-SP1, do not use hydrocarbon solvents for cleaning. All mildew and mold must be completely and thoroughly removed.
  • Application
    Stir thoroughly before and during use. Apply with a premium-quality roller, polyester or nylon bristle brush, airless or conventional sprayer. Can be reduced with water with airless spray.
