Notes

¹Cedar and Redwood extractives will bleed through most ordinary primers. 8-230 will discolor but will prevent tannin stains from bleeding into topcoat. Severe stains may require two primer coats. For best results, apply by brush or roller.

²Allow lumber to age until extractives migrate out of wood before priming (approximately 3-6 months).

³Allow mortar, masonry and concrete to cure 60 - 90 days prior to priming.

⁴Severe chalk must be removed prior to application of primer.

⁵Grease and oil must be removed before applying primer. New galvanized metal should be etched and cleaned before primer is applied. "Baked on" enamels should be lightly sanded.

⁶Vinyl Siding should never be painted darker than the original color to avoid warping. New Vinyl should be
aged 6 months or cleaned with M-1 Surface Prep to remove surfactants and/or residual oils and then pressure washed.
