Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of grease, wax, dust, mildew, loose and scaling paint, rust, excessive chalk or other foreign matter
Glossy areas should be dulled; remove mill glaze from smooth-planed clapboards
New plaster and masonry surfaces must be allowed to cure before applying primer
If the surface to be painted is water-stained, smoke damaged, grease stained or very slick, use a special purpose primer
APPLICATION
