APPLICATION
Apply when air and surface temperatures are between 40-90°F (7-32°C). Stir primer occasionally. Do not thin. Product is formulated for use at package consistency only. Use a high quality 3/8-1/2" nap roller cover, natural bristle brush or an airless sprayer (.015-.019" spray tip, 60 mesh filter). Spot prime patched areas first, followed with a complete primer coat. Topcoat within 30 days. Two coats may be required. Bright or deep colors require a tinted primer. Have primer tinted close to topcoat color with no more than 4 ounces of colorant per gallon.
DISPOSAL
