OIL UNDERCOAT

Oil Undercoat is a high-build, high-performance quality Undercoat for use on woodwork, new plaster and previously primed or painted plaster. This Undercoat will provide a good foundation for any alkyd or acrylic paint. Oil Undercoat dries to the touch in 4 hours, but should dry for 24 hours before recoating. This coating will yield best results when applied to dry, clean surfaces. This product may be used for BLOCKING STAINS on fire-damaged or water-damaged substrates.

New unpainted wood or plaster (not skim-coated wallboard): After sanding and removing dust, apply one coat of Oil Undercoat. Seal knots with shellac before priming. If substantial penetration into surfaces occurs, re-prime to achieve a uniform build. Sand smooth with 220 grit sandpaper before application of finish paint.

Previously painted surfaces: Sand existing finish with 100 grit sandpaper, remove dust and apply one coat Oil Undercoat. Sand smooth with 220 grit sandpaper before application of finish paint. Oil Undercoat should be applied in thin, even coats with a good quality, natural-bristle brush (Omega brushes recommended), rolled or sprayed. Do not apply at temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit or above 80 degrees Fahrenheit, or when relative humidity exceeds 80%. Under normal environmental conditions, this product requires no thinning. Stir well before use.
