USES:
For use on wall and trim surfaces: wood, concrete, brick, masonry, plaster, stucco
and primed metal (no rust) and various other substrates.
STAINS:
Spot prime all stains before priming entire area. ENVIRO-EXT Primer Sealer will
seal most stains. If stain persists, a compatible stain blocker must be used. Wood
knots should be spot primed with shellac. Pressure treated wood must be aged at
least 6 months before priming.
PREVIOUSLY PAINTED SURFACES:
Thoroughly clean surface of dirt, oil, grease, chalk or foreign matter by scraping,
sanding, scrubbing and/or rinsing. Scrape off any loose, blistering, cracking or peeling
paint using a wire brush and scraper. Dull any nonporous or glossy surfaces by
thorough washing with an abrasive kitchen cleaner or by scuff sanding before washing.
This primer will resist mildew growth, but will not kill spores, which are nearly
invisible and must be removed prior to painting. Scrub soiled, chalky or mildewed
surfaces with a solution of one cup detergent, one quart household bleach and one
gallon of water. Protect shrubbery and grass. Wash house from bottom up including
eaves, soffit and fascia. The complete surface to be painted must be cleaned even if it
looks clean, because invisible residues may cause peeling. Rinse surface thoroughly.
Let dry 24 hours. Patch cracks and holes with patching paste. Spot prime patched areas
before priming entire wall with a full coat of ENVIRO-EXT Primer Sealer.
UNPAINTED SURFACES:
Wood: Prime bare wood with one or two coats of Primer Sealer depending on condition
of the surface. Sand weathered or discolored wood down to solid wood. Clean free of
all dust, then prime. Wood knots should be spot primed with shellac. Pressure treated
wood must be aged at least 6 months before it can be primed. Metal: Clean surface of
all grease, oil and foreign matter before priming. Rusted metal and galvanized metal
must be primed with METAL-PRIME RED, a Red Iron Oxide Primer Sealer. Masonry:
Prime masonry before painting. New masonry must either be sealed with FORCE
CHALK or aged 60 days before priming. Plastered Walls: Surface must be dry, cured
and hard. Textured or swirl types and soft porous or powdery plaster must be treated
with a solution of one pint household vinegar in one gallon of water. Repeat until
surface is hard. Rinse with plain water. Let dry and apply a coat of CERAMIC GUARD
Primer Sealer.
