Surface preparation

• Surfaces must be clean, solid, dry and free from dust, dirt, mildew, chalking, loose paint or all other contaminants.
• Clean with Polyprep cleaner 771-135, 771-136, or an appropriate cleaner for removing the contaminant. Remove mildew with a solution of household bleach (1 part household bleach to 3 parts of water). Wear rubber gloves and eye protection.- Rinse thoroughly with clear water and let dry completely.
  Metal: Remove all loose rust. Treat with a metal conditioner and rust remover and apply a suitable system for metal.
• Strip, scrape or remove all loose and peeling paint, and sand to smooth edges.
• Sand rough areas and dull glossy surfaces. Eliminate sanding residues. Touch up bare spots. Precaution: Dry sanding, flame cutting and/or welding of dry paint film will give rise to dust and/or hazardous fumes. Wet sanding should be used, wherever possible. If exposure cannot be avoided by the provision of local exhaust ventilation, suitable respiratory protective equipment should be used.
• Repair holes and cracks with joint compound suitable for the surface to be repaired.
• If wood exudes resin, scrape the excess and clean with alcohol or paint thinner. Sand for a smooth finish. Eliminate sanding residues. Seal knots with Polyprep shellac 205-112 before applying the primer.
• For optimal results, especially on tough stains or on very porous or absorbent repairs, it is recommended to apply a base coat. Before its application, cover or mask surfaces that are not to be painted.
