HB42 PS1 Primer-Sealer Stain Block 5L HB42PS15

Preparation:

Ensure the surface you are going to prime is clean, dry and free from dust, dirt and excessive oil, grease, wax, wallpaper adhesive or loose and flaky paint that may interfere with application. Can be used on previously painted glossy surfaces, if they are smooth, and have been cleaned down.

Wash surface with an appropriate cleaning solution. Remove any loose coatings and sand any remaining edges to smooth the surface. Lightly sand wood to remove any loose wood fibres. Try to remove existing stains as much as possible. Countersink exposed nail heads and fill any nail holes to smooth the surface.

Remove mould and mildew before painting with a mould and mildew cleaner and rinse well. Always ensure surface is dry before applying PS1 , it will not work if moisture is trapped into the surface prior to overcoating with a topcoat. Always wear protective clothing and mask to prevent eye and skin contact. Special precautions should be taken during the surface preparation of pre 1960's paint surfaces over wood and metal as they may contain harmful lead. When dry-sanding avoid dust inhalation by wearing a suitable protective mask.

Application:

Apply PS1 when air and surface temperature is between -18º and 32ºC and relative humidity is less than 70%. Substrate moisture content should not exceed 12%. Shake or stir well before applying by brush, roller or spray. If needed, use Methylated spirits to thin. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Only one coat is necessary to prime most surfaces. Keep container closed and store upright when not in use. Can be overcoated with all paints.

Clean Up:

Clean application tools with Methylated spirit, allowing your wet brushes and rollers to soak for 5-10 minutes. For tools that have dried, soak overnight in Methylated spirit. Spillages or paint drips should be cleaned up immediately using Methylated spirit.
