Surface Preparation: Surfaces to be painted must be clean, cured, dry and free of grease, wax, rust, chalk, and loose or scaling paint. Caution: Smooth planed clapboards or siding must be sanded thoroughly to break the “mill glaze” allowing proper penetration and adhesion. Un-weathered areas such as eaves, ceilings and overhangs should be washed with a detergent solution and/or rinsed with a strong stream of water from a garden hose to remove surface salts that can interfere with proper adhesion. Spot prime all nail holes, areas that need caulking or putty, and any bare wood. Re-prime all puttied areas before applying the finish coat.
New plaster or masonry surfaces must be allowed to cure (30 days) before applying base coat. Cured plaster should be hard, have a slight sheen and maximum pH of 10; soft, porous or powdery plaster indicates improper cure. Never sand a plaster surface; knife off any protrusions and prime plaster before and after applying patching compound.
Application: Stir thoroughly before and occasionally during use. Apply 1 or 2 coats as received in the container. Two coats provides the maximum sealing and stain suppression. When spot-priming, double-coating or applying finish coat, allow at least 3-4 hours between coats. Surfaces not topcoated after 7 days should be lightly sanded to promote intercoat adhesion. For best results, use a Benjamin Moore® custom blended china bristle or nylon/polyester brush, Benjamin Moore® roller, or a similar product. This product can also be sprayed.
