SURFACE PREPARATION

grease, wax, oil, old wallcovering adhesive, mold and

mildew and other residue. Inspect the surface for paint

bonding, loose wallcoverings, damaged wallboard or

plaster. Remove old or loose wallcovering and residual

wallcovering adhesive with DIF Wallpaper Stripper.

Repair unsound surfaces. Seal loose paint or damaged

drywall and cured skim coats with Gardz

High Performance Sealer as needed.

Mold & Mildew
Eliminate pre-existing mold and mildew by washing the

affected area with a solution of ¾ cup of bleach to 1 gallon

of water. Wear protection to prevent skin and eye contact.

Quickly wash off any solution that comes in contact with

your skin. Do not add ammonia or other cleaning agents to

the bleach solution. Rinse surface with clean water. Allow
