Allow for overspray and surface irregularities. Wet film thickness is rounded to the nearest 0.5 mil or 5 microns.
Application of coating below minimum or above maximum recommended dry film thicknesses may adversely affect
coating performance.
MIXING
Stir thoroughly making sure no pigment remains on the bottom of the can. Use a power mixer and keep material under
constant agitation while mixing.
THINNING
For spray, thin up to 10% or 3/4 pint (380 mL) per gallon with No. 2 Thinner if temperatures are below 80°F (27°C). Thin
up to 10% or 3/4 pint (380 mL) per gallon with No. 3 Thinner if temperatures are above 80°F (27°C). For brush or roller,
thin up to 10% or 3/4 pint (380 mL) with No. 3 Thinner. Note: No. 49 Thinner may be substituted where there are VOC
restrictions. Note: NSF certification requires thinning with No. 2 Thinner. Use of any other thinner voids ANSI/NSF Std. 61
certification.
POT LIFE
24 hours at 77°F (25°C) and 50% R.H. Caution: This product cures with moisture acting as a catalyst. Incorporation of
moisture or moisture laden air (humidity) during use will shorten pot life. The use of a solvent blanket (small addition of
solvent that sits atop the paint in the can) can help to retard a reaction with moisture in the container but agitation will
have to be done by manual means, taking care to not disturb the solvent or incorporate it into the paint. Avoid continual
agitation at high RPM. When feasible keep containers of material covered during use.
APPLICATION EQUIPMENT
Note: When intermediate and finish coats are white or light colors, best hiding of this primer can be achieved by spray
application; or when roller applied, by using 1/4” synthetic woven nap roller covers.

Roller: Use a 1/4” or 3/8” (6.4 mm or 9.5 mm) synthetic woven nap cover.
Brush: Use high quality natural or synthetic bristle brushes.
SURFACE TEMPERATURE
Minimum 35°F (2°C) Maximum 120°F (49°C)
The surface should be dry and at least 5°F (3°C) above the dew point. Note: Series 44-710 Accelerator must be used if the
surface temperature is 35°F to 60°F (2°C to 16°C) and 20% to 40% relative humidity, or if surface temperature is below
50°F (10°C) regardless of humidity.
AMBIENT HUMIDITY
Minimum 20% Maximum 90%
CLEANUP
Flush and clean all equipment immediately after use with the recommended thinner or xylene.
