Specifications and Important Details

One gallon covers approximately 300-400 sqft based on surface porosity.

 

Drying/Curing Time

For best results wait a minimum of 4 hours before recoating. This product cures and bonds over a full 7 day period.

 

Cleanup

Clean tools and equipment while they are still wet with a warm soapy water solution. Any unused primer should be stored in air tight container for reuse. Or, add kitty litter to solidify in the can or roll out on a piece of cardboard and leave to dry before disposing. Do not flush excess primer down the sink or toilet.

 

Health Precautions

As with all coatings and sealers, keep container tightly closed and out of the reach of children. Do not take internally. Always use adequate ventilation.

Installation Notes

Surface Prep

Ideal priming conditions include: dry surface, fresh air flow, 30-70% relative humidity, 55° to 85° F. Clean surfaces of dirt, grease, mildew and oil. Surface should be completely dry before application.

 

Application

Stir well before use; then apply with brush, roller or airless sprayer. Always wear painters mask when spraying. Thick application, high humidity or conditions other than normal will cause Safecoat to dry and cure more slowly. Spraying Instructions: 

  • Reduce with up to 1/2 pint of water/gallon as needed.
  • Airless sprayers should use 17/1000 to 21/1000 tip 
  • Reversible tips are best 
  • Use only 30 mesh high pressure filters 
  • For best coverage, spray 18" from surface 
  • Overlap preceding coat with 1/4 to 1/2 the fan width
