PRODUCT APPLICATION
SURFACE PREPARATION
Surfaces should be clean, dry, sound and free of dust, dirt, excessive chalky material, grime, grease, oil, wax, mildew, wallpaper adhesive, or any contamination that may interfere with adhesion. If unsure, wash the surface with a low suds cleaning solution like ammonia, or a TSP substitute. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry. Remove any peeling and/or unsound coatings. Sand any remaining paint film edges smooth with the surface.
WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint, you may release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a NIOSH-Approved respirator to control lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a HEPA vacuum and a wet mop. Before you start, find out how to protect yourself and your family by contacting the National Lead Information Hotline at 1-800- 424-LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/lead.
APPLICATION
Apply only when air, material, and surface temperatures are between 0 and 90ºF (-18 and 32ºC) and the relative humidity is below 70%. Do not apply if surface temperature is within 15 °F of the dew point. Substrate moisture should not exceed 12%. DO NOT THIN. Thoroughly mix to ensure any settled pigment is redispersed before using. Coating can be tinted to off-white and pastel shades by adding a maximum of 2 ounces of universal colorant per gallon.
Apply with a natural or synthetic (nylon, polyester or blend) bristle brush, roller, or airless sprayer. Follow manufacturer's instructions when using spray equipment. For airless spraying, use a 0.011"-0.013” tip at 800 to 1200 psi. If a conventional sprayer is used, spray at 45-55 psi. Wear NIOSH approved respirator and provide adequate ventilation.
DRY TIME
Dries to the touch in 20 minutes, can be topcoated in 45 minutes. The primer film develops full adhesion and hardness after it cures in 1 to 3 days. Lower temperatures, higher humidity, and the addition of tint will prolong dry and cure time. Allow more time at cooler temperatures.
LIMITATIONS
Shellac 9000 is not recommended for whole surface exterior application, for excessively humid interior areas or for application to surfaces subject to immersion or prolonged contact with water.
CLEAN UP
Clean up spills and paint drips with denatured alcohol or ammoniated detergent. If spills or drips have dried, use denatured alcohol or ammoniated detergent to soften and remove. Wash application tools in a solution of 1 part ammonia and 3 parts water immediately after use. If product has dried on application tools, soak tools overnight in a solution of equal parts ammonia and water. Scrub clean with a stiff brush. Follow equipment manufacturer’s directions to clean spray equipment. Dispose of unused or unwanted product in accordance with all current federal, state and local regulations.
