SURFACE PREPARATION
Surfaces to be painted should be dry, free of dust, chalk, grease, rust and all foreign material
which would affect adhesion.
Dust and Chalk must be removed by scrubbing with mild, powdered detergent and warm
water and rinsed with fresh water. NEVER prepare surfaces by washing with a petroleum-based
liquid soap, which can affect adhesion.
Grease and wax should be removed with lacquer thinner. Surfaces such as kitchen cabinets or
furniture that may have been waxed with a silicon-based product, or stained, varnished or oiled
should be treated with a deglossing agent such as Wil-Bond before priming with ECO or
Oil Primer/Undercoat.
When mildew is encountered, it must be removed thoroughly by washing with a mild bleach
and TSP solution. It is imperative that all bleach residue be removed by rinsing with water.
When painting metal surfaces, all corrosion and rust must be removed; prime with the
appropriate FPE metal primer. When painting wooden surfaces, knots must be sealed
with shellac to prevent bleeding before priming.
Glossy surfaces must be dulled by a light hand sanding or a dulling agent (liquid sandpaper).
APPLICATION
Tools: Use a first
quality synthetic bristle brush or “hot dog” type foam roller.
New, unpainted surfaces: After surface preparation (sanding, etc.) and cleaning, apply one coat ECO Primer/Undercoat or FPE Oil Primer/Undercoat. If painting exterior wood, moisture levels should not exceed 14%. Primer coat should be sanded with 220 grit paper. Then apply two generous, even coats of ECO. For optimal appearance lightly sand high profile work with 220 grit paper between coats. Apply the paint and then walk away. Do not overwork this finish.
On surfaces previously painted: Previously painted surfaces which are sound and do not need significant preparation may be painted without priming. Apply ECO following a light sanding and thorough cleaning to remove dust and foreign material. Painted surfaces that do require heavy
sanding or scraping should be cleaned and then primed with ECO or FPE Oil Primer/ Undercoat before applying two generous coats of ECO. For optimal appearance lightly sand high profile work with 220 grit paper between coats. Apply the paint and then walk away. Do not overwork this paint – brush it on and walk away.
ECO should be stirred well before use. If this finish drags or does not level perfectly it may be thinned slightly with water.
Do not apply at temperatures below 40°F or above 80°F or when relative humidity exceeds 80%.
MAINTENANCE
Easy to clean. Wash (scrub if necessary)
with a mild, powdered detergent and warm
water, rinse and dry (buff) thoroughly to
prevent water spots.
