Product Preparation:
Apply directly from the can, no thinning is required.
If thinning is desired, use XIM’s Latex X-Tender. If tinting is
desired, use up to 2 ounces of universal tint per gallon.
Do not exceed 2 ounces of tint per gallon. It can also be tinted
by adding small quantities of the Top Coat latex pa
int (½ Pint per gallon) to provide an opaque, guide coat.
Mix or shake well before application.
Product Storage:
Not to exceed 110° F.
Surface Preparation:
Be sure the surface is clean and dry, free from dust, grease,
wax, oil, and other surface contaminants. Clean with
a strong detergent, rinse and allow to dry. Remove all loose
and peeling paint. The surface should be a sound, stable
surface. Spot prime areas that require extra filling.
The moisture content of wood
should be below 15% at application.
Moldy or mildewed surfaces should be scrubbed
with a mixture of one part of household bleach and
three parts of water, then thoroughly
rinsed with clean water and allowed to dry. Rotted
wood should be replaced.
Application:
Apply by synthetic fiber brush or paint pad. It can
be applied at temperatures as low as 40°F. It can
also be applied in high humidity conditions, up to 90%
relative humidity. Under standard conditions, 77°F and
50% RH, Trim Magic will dry to touch in
about 30 minutes. Thicker coats will take longer to
dry. It can be top-coated in 40-60 minutes, under
normal conditions. Trim Magic
goes on white and dries to a hazy, clear. Once it h
as turned to the hazy, clear, it is ready to recoat
or topcoat. It can be heavily applied,
but do not exceed 25-30 mils wet film per application.
Coverage will vary between 13 to 50 square feet
per quart (50 to 200 square
feet per gallon), depending on the film thickness.
