Application Information

Ambient Air Temperature

  • When temperatures less than 40°F (4.5°C) prevail, provide supplementary heat during installation and drying period for at least 24 hours after installation and until dry.
  • Do not apply in ambient temperature above 100°F (38°C) or surface temperature above 120°F (49°C).

  • Gypsum Wall Board (interior only)

Drying Time

Under average conditions of 70 °F (21 °C) and 50% Relative Humidity

  • Primer will typically be dry within 24 hours.
  • Drying time is dependent on humidity, air temperature, sun exposure, surface conditions and film thickness. Lower temperature, higher humidity and application in shaded areas will extend drying time.
  • Protect coating from rain or other precipitation and temperatures less than 40°F (4.5°C) for a minimum of 24 hours and until dry.
Consumption

Coverage

750-1,250 ft2 (70-116 m2) per pail.
