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, always wash surface with an appropriate ammoniated cleaning solution or solvent (do not use tri sodium phosphate based cleaners). Remove any peeling and / or unsound coatings. Sand any remaining paint film edges smooth. Lightly sand exposed exterior wood with 80 to 100grit sandpaper to remove loose or weathered wood fibers and mill glaze. When priming over stained areas, first attempt to remove as much of the stain as possible by washing, sanding, scraping, etc. Allow surface to dry completely before priming. Countersink exposed nail heads, spot-prime and fill all nail holes and gouges. Wire brush rusty areas. Spot prime knots and sap streaks with B-I-N Primer-Sealer before whole surface priming with Cover Stain.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Shake or stir before using. In most cases only one coat is necessary to prime most surfaces. If excessive absorption occurs over very porous substrates a second coat may be necessary. Spot priming is recommended only under high hiding topcoat paints. For best results prime entire surface before painting. Allow to come to room temperature before use. Use in a well ventilated area avoiding high humidity.
APPLICATION CONDITIONS
Apply when air and surface temperatures are between 5°C and 32°C and humidity is less than 85%. Note that temperature and humidity directly affect dry time of the product. Higher temperatures and lower humidity will accelerate the dry time while lower temperatures and higher humidity will slow down the dry time.
