..PRODUCT APPLICATION .
PAINTING CONDITIONS
Use outdoors or in a well ventilated area. Use when
temperature is between 50-90°F (10-32°C) and humidity is
below 85% to ensure proper drying. Do not apply to
surfaces that exceed 200°F (93°C) or galvanized metal.
When using spray equipment, avoid spraying in very
windy and dusty conditions. Cover surrounding area to
protect from spray mist.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Make sure the surface is wiped clean and free of any dirt,
oils, grease or wax. If needed, wash the surface with soap
and water, rinse and let dry. Remove loose paint and rust
with a wire brush or sandpaper.
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

APPLICATION
Mix thoroughly to ensure any settled pigment is re-
dispersed. DO NOT THIN this product. Product is ready to
