Surface Preparation
Surfaces
must be clean and free of oil, grease, wax, rust and mildew. Remove any
chalk and loose or scaling paint. Cement based water proofing paints
should be removed. Glossy surfaces must be dulled. Un-weathered areas
such as eaves, ceilings, and overhangs should be washed with a detergent
solution and rinsed with a strong stream of water from a garden hose or
power washer to remove contaminants that can interfere with proper
adhesion. Mildew must be removed by application of Benjamin Moore CLEAN 318. Caution: Use rubber gloves, work
goggles, and protective clothing.
All masonry surfaces must be
power washed or brushed thoroughly with stiff fiber bristles to remove
loose particles. New masonry substrates must be allowed to cure for 30
days before priming or painting. Poured or pre-cast concrete with a very
smooth surface should be etched or abraded to promote adhesion, after
removing all form release agents and curing compounds.
All new
metal surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned with Super Spec HP Oil and Grease Emulsifier P83 or mineral
spirits to remove contaminants. New shiny non-ferrous metal surfaces
that will be subject to abrasion should be dulled with very fine
sandpaper or a synthetic steel wool pad to promote adhesion.
Difficult Substrates: Benjamin Moore offers a number of
specialty primers for use over difficult substrates such as bleeding
woods, grease stains, crayon markings, hard glossy surfaces, or other
substrates where paint adhesion or stain suppression is a particular
problem. Destination Paint can recommend the right problem-solving
primer for your special needs.
WARNING! If you scrape
sand or remove old paint, you may release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC.
EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE,
ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE.
Wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to control lead exposure. Carefully
clean up with a HEPA vacuum and a wet mop. Before you start, find out
how to protect yourself and your family by contacting the National Lead
Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/lead.
