Application & Use

Coverage

Flat Surfaces: 250 sq. ft. / gal.

Coverage depends on many factors such as porosity and roughness of the substrate and material losses during application. Using less than recommended material will lead to decreased durability. May require two coats for best results – especially on previously unpainted surfaces.

On new wood always check for tannin stain by applying to a test area. If it occurs use an oil-based primer such as Fence & Barn White. Allow 24 hours before top-coating with this product.

Dry Time

Set to touch: 1 hour

Re-coat: 4 hours

Fully dry: 24 hours

Drying times are affected by rain, dew, and temperature. Do not paint if rain is expected within 8 hours.
