PRODUCT APPLICATION
SURFACE PREPARATION
For applications that have existing wet, slimy, heavy soiled, gross filth, overgrowth, or loose material on the substrate a pre-cleaning step is required. Physically or mechanically remove gross filth, heavy soil, overgrowth, or loose material including dirt, grease, and oily films before application and ensure the substrate is free of slime or excessive moisture to ensure long-term adhesion and product performance, particularly on exterior surfaces. If mold or mildew needs to be removed prior to application remove with a mildew remover that is EPA registered and let dry.
Eye, skin and NOISH approved respiratory protection is highly recommended. Patch surface irregularities with appropriate patching compounds.
APPLICATION
Mold Killing Primer is a ready to use product. Do not thin, do not dilute and do not mix with water or other chemicals or other paints. Mix thoroughly. Apply when temperatures are between 50-90°F (10-32°C). Do not apply when air or surface temperature is below 50°F (10°C) or when drying conditions are poor. Use adequate ventilation during application.
Use a brush, roller, or airless sprayer to apply. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using spray equipment. For airless spraying use a 0.017” to 0.019” tip at 2000 to 2500 psi. Coverage is dependent on substrate porosity and surface smoothness. Apply generously and uniformly, ensuring that the surface is completely coated. Allow to air dry. For heavy water stained areas, prime with Mold Killing Primer and allow it to dry. Follow with a Zinsser stain blocking primer such as BIN, BIN Advanced or Cover Stain.
DRY TIME
Mold Killing Primer dries to the touch in 30 minutes and can be recoated in 1 hour. For optimal protection, apply topcoat within 72 hours of application. Full adhesion and hardness develops in 7 days.
LIMITATIONS
Mold Killing Primer is not designed for application to floors or decks or to surfaces subject to immersion or prolonged contact with water.
CLEAN-UP
Clean all application tools with warm soapy water. Wipe up spills immediately with a clean damp cloth. Follow equipment manufacturer’s directions to clean spray equipment. See label for proper container disposal.
