If thinning is necessary to maintain workability, do not exceed one - half pint of water per gallon . DRYING Dry times are based on standard conditions of 75 ° F with a relative humidity of 50 % . Lower temperatures or higher humidity may extend drying times . Higher temperatures may speed drying time . Provide adequate ventilation and air movement during and after painting . TEMPERATURE Do not apply when material , air, and/or surface temperature is outside of the recommendations on page 1 . Store at room temperature and protect from freezing . COVERAGE May vary depending on method of application , porosity and texture of the surface . NEW SURFACES Prime surfaces following primer recommendations on Page 1 and 2 . Two finish coats will provide a more even color and sheen . It will also help with touch - up and durability. Backroll while spraying to ensure an even coat . Backrolling the prime coat will fill in porous surfaces . Backrolling the topcoat will reduce pinholes , create uniform sheen , and make for easier touch - up . Avoid lap marks by maintaining a wet edge at all times . Re - wet your applicator before it starts to run dry; any light spots , when dried , may appear different than heavy spots in both color and sheen . An even coat is your goal . Lay the paint on and leave it alone . Be sure to give paint an opportunity to flow and level after application . This product is not intended for use on floors . PREVIOUSLY PAINTED SURFACES Glossy surfaces should be completely dulled prior to painting . Spot prime bare and patched areas or prime entire surface with a suitable Kelly- Moore product .

For heavy stains , a second coat of primer may be required . 24 hours are required between all coats . FIBER CEMENT BOARD Follow primer recommendations on Page 1 . A minimum of two finish coats at 4 - 6 wet mils are required over factory prime for sheen uniformity and touch up . Backroll spray applied topcoats . CAULKING When filling voids, prime the surface then apply paintable patching , acrylic caulking , or siliconized acrylic caulking to the manufacturer 's recommendations . Allow the caulking to fully dry, then apply the finish paint . When sealing voids or joints with expected movement , prime and paint the surface . Allow the paint to fully dry, then apply acrylic or siliconized acrylic caulking . Clear or colored caulking is a good choice for this type of application . Painting over caulking were substrate movement is present may cause cracking of the finish coating . CONTAINERS AND TOOLS Transfer material into a clean container before use . Use new or thoroughly cleaned tools . To avoid contamination , do not re - dip applicators or add used material into containers being used for storage . STORAGE Store material in a clean , tightly sealed container free of rollers , brushes , or other outside materials . TESTING Prior to full application , apply a test patch to ensure the preparation and coating system are appropriate for the project . If test patch results do not meet the needs of the project , contact a Kelly- Moore representative for recommendations . CURE Architectural coatings require up to 30 days after final application for full cure . Cure times vary depending on environmental conditions and air circulation . Full performance characteristics are achieved when coating has fully cured . CLEANING Wait at least two weeks after application before attempting to clean or maintain the surface . Use a new soft cotton cloth or sponge with clean water to wipe the surface . If the surface has heavy dirt or stains , a mild detergent may be added to the water for cleaning .
