Product Preparation:
Advanced Technology UMA is ready to apply from the can. If tinting,
use universal tinting colors. Do not exceed two (2) ounces of tint
per gallon. Shake or mix well before using.
Surface Preparation:
Surface must be clean and dry, free from all grease, wax, oil, polish,
loose paint, dirt, rust or other contamination. Clean with a strong
abrasive detergent, rinse well and allow to dry.
Scrub moldy or mildewed surfaces with bleach and rinse well.
When priming hard, glossy surfaces,
metal or pre-finished siding clean per SSPC-SP1, which is sol
vent cleaning. Wipe down the surface with
XIM GON Cleaner or Xylene. Do not use mineral spirits,
turpentine solvents that will leave oily
residues. For very hard, glossy surfaces, roughing the surface
with silicon carbide sandpaper before
applying the Bonder necessary for best adhesion.
How to Apply:
Apply this Bonder by synthetic fiber brush, ¼ inch synthetic roller
or by spray. Avoid any excess foaming by thoroughly wetting the
brush or roller with water before applying. The temperature of the
surface and the surrounding air should be between 35 deg. F and 100 deg. F. .
It will dry to touch in about 30-45 minutes under standard conditions
(77 deg. F and 50% relative humidity). Thicker coats will take longer
to dry. It will generally become hard in about 7 - 10 days. They can be top-coat
ed in 3 hours after application. When top coating with 2-component paints allow 24
hours before painting. Do not paint in direct sun or on a hot surface. Stop application
two hours before a heavy dew or rain. If possible plan your
painting to avoid rain, moisture and high humidity for the first 24 hours of curing.
Advanced Technology covers about 450 square feet per gallon.
Caulk seams and edges after priming.
Clean-Up:
Clean-up with soap and water. If the UMA “sets-up”, or when cleaning up splatters or
spills use warm water or lacquer thinner.
