Latex Enamel Undercoat is a fast-drying, vinyl acrylic undercoat for interior use. Latex Enamel Undercoat is for use on unpainted drywall, plaster, masonry and non-bleeding woods. Product is designed to perform the function of a sealer and undercoat for succeeding wall paints and enamels and can be topcoated with either latex or oil based topcoats. Product features quick dry, water clean-up and easy application with brush, roller or spray.

Reprinted from National Paint and Coatings Association, Inc., FLAMMABILITY OF PAINT STUDY conducted by Southwest Research Institute, Project 3-3774-141. "We believe this study provides substantial evidence that conventional paints and coatings do not increase the flame spread of either non-flammable or flammable substrate upon which they are applied. It also indicates that any fuel contribution or smoke density increase is insignificant when compared with the contribution of the substrate itself."

Keep packaged material from freezing. If material has been frozen, do not stir until completely thawed. If material, when stirred after thawing, is of uniform consistency and has a suitable viscosity with no lumps, it may be used.

Do not apply when surface, air or material temperature is below 50° F. (10° C.).

This product is not recommended for use on wood or metal.

WOOD - Sand smooth and apply one coat of primer. After primer has dried overnight, putty nail holes and cracks, then spot-prime putty with primer. Again, allow the primer to dry overnight, sand lightly and topcoat.

MASONRY AND CONCRETE - If efflorescence or cement dust is present on masonry and concrete, it should be removed by etching with a 10% solution of muriatic (Hydrochloric acid) solution; wear protective goggles and rubber gloves. Flush off surface, after etching, with clean water and allow to dry,

On surfaces where muriatic acid cannot be used to neutralize the efflorescence, sand, scrape, and wire brush and coat with Masonry Conditioner before painting.

Prime and allow to dry four hours before topcoating. Rough concrete and haydite blocks should be filled with Latex Block Filler. Allow to dry overnight before priming.

PLASTER AND WALLBOARD - Prime and allow to dry four hours before topcoating.

Remove all loose and flaking paint by scraping and sanding. All calcimine paints must be removed before painting by scraping and washing.

Walls and ceilings should be washed to remove dirt, dust, grease, oils, nicotine, waxes, etc.

Scuff sand slick, hard glossy surfaces with coarse sandpaper.

Liquid deglossers may be used to promote adhesion by softening and dulling the old slick, hard glossy paint and removing grease, wax, etc.

Stir each container thoroughly prior to use. No thinning is required for brush or roller application. For spray application, up to one pint of water may be added to each gallon of paint.

Do not apply when surface, air or material temperature is below 50° F.

Apply using a nylon wall brush or a short-nap roller. Keep brush or roller well filled and flow on freely.

To spray, use the following recommendation or equal as a guide:

AIRLESS SPRAY:

Tip . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .013-.015"

Fan . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 40° -60° (8-12 inch fan)

Pressure . . . . . . . . . . 1500-2000 PSI

Clean brushes, rollers and spray equipment, after each use, with warm soapy water, then rinse with clean water. Follow-up with mineral spirits in spray equipment to avoid rusting. Dispose of used paint and waste in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.

One gallon will cover 400 square feet (37 square meters per 3.785 liters) per coat on smooth surfaces. Rough or porous surfaces require more paint.

Optimum drying conditions are 60° F. to 90° F. (16° C. to 32° C.) at 50% R.H.

To Touch . . . . . . . . . . . . . 30 Minutes

To Recoat . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 Hours

Lower temperatures and high humidity will slow dry.

May be topcoated with latex, oil and alkyd finish coats.
