One quart covers about 100 sq ft per coat.
How to apply
- Make sure the surface is clean, dry and sound; wash with household ammonia and water if unsure (not TSP). Sand paint edges smooth and fill holes.
- Mix thoroughly. One coat primes most surfaces; very porous surfaces may need a second coat.
- Apply with a synthetic brush, roller or airless sprayer. If thinning, add no more than 10 fl oz of water per gallon.
- Recoat or paint after 1 hour. Clean up with detergent and warm water.
Good to know
Not for exterior use, floors, decks or surfaces in contact with water. Prime water, marker and smoke stains with B-I-N instead. Removing old paint can release toxic lead dust; see the data sheet for lead-safe practices. Read the Bulls Eye Water-Base technical data sheet.
