PAINTING CONDITIONS

Use outdoors or in a well ventilated area such as an open garage. Use when temperature is between 50-90°F (10-32°C) and humidity is below 65% to ensure proper drying. Do not apply to surfaces, when heated, exceed 200°F(93°C). Do not apply to galvanized steel. Avoid spraying in very windy and dusty conditions. Cover surrounding area to protect from spray mist.

SURFACE PREPARATION

Remove all dirt, grease, oil, salt and chemical contaminants by washing the surface with a commercial detergent, or other suitable cleaning method. Rinse with fresh water and allow to thoroughly dry. Remove loose paint and rust with a wire brush or sandpaper. Previously

coated surfaces must be sound and in good condition. Smooth, hard, or glossy finishes should be scarified by sanding to create a surface profile.

WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint from any surface, you may release lead paint 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

steady back-and-forth motion, slightly overlapping each stroke. Keep the can the same distance from the surface.

Keep the can in motion while spraying. Apply two or more light coats a few minutes apart to avoid drips and runs. Do

not use near open flame.

hours.

PAINTING CONDITIONS

Apply only when air and surface temperatures are between 50-90°F (10-32°C) and humidity is below 85% to

ensure proper drying. Do not apply to surfaces that will exceed 200°F (93°C). Do not use on galvanized steel.

SURFACE PREPARATION

ALL SURFACES: Remove all dirt, grease, oil, salt and chemical contaminants by washing the surface with a

commercial detergent or other suitable cleaning method. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and allow to fully dry. All

surfaces must be dry at time of application.

STEEL: Scrape and wire brush or power tool clean toremove loose rust, scale and deteriorated previous

coatings. Use 7769 Rusty Primer for sound rusted or clean metal before application of a finish coat. 7780 White Clean

Primer is best for clean metal but may be used on sound rusted metal as well.

finishes should be scarified by sanding to create a surface profile. The Stops Rust Primers are compatible with most

coatings, but a test patch is suggested.

WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint from any surface, you may release lead paint dust. LEAD IS TOXIC.

APPLICATION

Before using, stir thoroughly to ensure any settled pigment is re-dispersed. If necessary, thin the material with mineral

spirits. For brush or roller, thin no more than 5% with mineral spirits. Do not thin with gasoline, lacquer thinner,

turpentine, etc. Apply with a good quality brush, roller or spray gun.

Brush:

Use light, even strokes. Excessive brushing reduces film thickness and protection.

Roller:

A 3/8" nap roller should be used on rough surfaces. Cover approximately one square yard at a time. Roll away

from previously coated area and work back to it for a uniform appearance. Use a brush on crevices and sharp edges.

Spray Gun:

Follow spray gun directions carefully. Always keep the gun ten to twelve inches from the surface and in motion while spraying.

DRY & RECOAT

Dry and recoat times are based on 70°F (21°C) and 50% relative humidity. Allow more time at cooler temperatures

and higher humidity. Dries to the touch in 2-4 hours, to handle in 5-9 hours and can be recoated after 24 hours.
