Use on wood, metal, ceramic, glass, canvas and more. For interior use only.
PRODUCT APPLICATION
READ ALL DIRECTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING PROJECT
Use when temperature is between 50°F (10°C) and 90°F (32°C) and humidity is below 85% to ensure proper drying.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Remove all dirt, grease, oil, salt, and chemical contaminants by washing the surface with soap and water and let dry. Remove loose paint and rust with a wire brush or sandpaper. For superior adhesion, lightly sand glossy or porous surfaces. Remove any wax by lightly wiping the surface with mineral spirits.
PRIMING
Priming is not required for most surfaces. In rare instances when using a light color on wood types with heavy knotting or on severely worn/bare cedar or oak, some discoloration may occur due to tannin bleed. Use of an oil-based stain blocking primer, such as Zinsser® Cover Stain® Oil Base Primer, will provide added protection to help prevent tannin bleed in these instances.
APPLICATION
Stir thoroughly to ensure any settled pigment is re-dispersed. Do not shake the can. Thinning is not required. In hot, dry conditions, you may thin with up to 2 oz. of fresh water per quart to extend the dry time. Avoid painting in direct sunlight or on hot surfaces.
Use a high quality synthetic brush. Roller application is not recommended. Avoid excessive brushing as this will reduce film thickness and protection. Use light, even brush strokes to ensure even flow and the smoothest finish. Only one coat is required, but up to 3 coats can be applied for the desired look.
DRY & RECOAT
Dry and recoat times are based on 70-80°F (21-27°C) and 50% relative humidity. Allow more time at cooler temperatures. Dries to the touch in 30 minutes and to handle in 1 hour. May be recoated after 2 hours. Chalked Protective Topcoat can be applied for added protection. Apply according to instructions on the can.
DISTRESSING
This paint can be distressed if desired. To distress the surface, lightly sand the surface with fine to medium grit sandpaper or a sanding sponge. The more the piece is distressed, the more the original surface will show through. Wait 2 hours before sanding or distressing.
CLEANUP
Clean brush and other application tools immediately with soap and water.
