Surface Preparation
Surfaces to be coated with Safecoat New Wallboard Primecoat should be sound and cleaned
of dirt,
grease, mildew and oil. Do not apply over existing wallpaper. Tape joints must be tight and sound. Spray
texture
must be uniform and adhering properly
Application
May be applied with a brush, roller or airless sprayer. Use a high quality nylon brush. A quality roller
cover with a nap height of 1/4” to 1/2” is recommended. (Note: high
pile heights will add additional
texture.) Airless spayers should have a 17/1000 to 21/1000 tip (reversible type is best). Onlya 30 mesh
high pressure filter should be used. Use a painter’s mask when spraying. For full coverage application,
overlap preceding application with 1/4 to 1/2 the fan width at a distance of 18” from surface. Do not
apply on cold, damp days or if surface, container or air temperature is below 55 degrees.
Clean Up
Clean tools and equipment while they are still wet with a solution of SafeChoice Super Clean and warm
water.
DRYING/CURING TIME:
Under normal conditions, Safecoat New Wallboard Primecoat dries to touch in one hour and
is re-coatable after 2-4 hours. Normal conditions include a dry surface, access to fresh air flow,
moderate humidity, and temperatures above 55 degrees F.
Thick application, high humidity or
conditions other than normal will cause Safecoat to dry and cure more slowly
