PREVIOUSLY
PAINTED SURFACES:
Sand old surfaces with 120 grade (grit) paper. Remove sanding residue. Wipe
with Brushing Liquid 333. Repair surface defects with Surfacing Putty 257. Sand
surface, wipe clean.
BARE WOOD: Sand with 80 grade (grit) paper. Wipe
with Brushing Liquid 333. Repair surface defects with Surfacing Putty 257.
PLYWOOD: Follow directions for bare wood. Apply Inter-Prime Wood Sealer Clear
1026. MAHOGANY Follow directions for bare wood. Apply Pre-Kote directly to the
wood.
BARE
FIBERGLASS: Wipe a
small area with a clean rag that has been wetted with Fiberglass Solvent Wash
202. While the surface is still wet, wipe with a clean, dry rag. Continue this
process until the entire surface has been cleaned. Sand with 80 grade (grit)
paper. Wipe with Fiberglass Solvent Wash 202. Repair surface defects with
Interfill Epoxy Filler. Sand surface, wipe clean.
Method: Apply 1-2 coats. Depending on surface
condition. Allow the necessary overcoating time between applications. Sand
between primer coats with 120 grade (grit) paper until translucent. Remove
sanding residue with a rag dampened with Brushing Liquid 333. Apply finish
coats. Sand with 220 grade (grit) paper between Pre-Kote and finish enamel.
Hints:
Thinner Brush - Brushing Liquid 333. Spray - Special Thinner 216.
Cleaner
Painted Surfaces - Brushing Liquid 333. Bare Wood - Brushing Liquid 333. Bare
Fiberglass - Fiberglass Solvent Wash 202.
Ventilation
and Humidity Control:
It is best to paint on warm, dry mornings.
Airless
Spray Pressure:
170-204 bar/2500-3000 psi. Tip Size: 0.48-0.53 mm/19-21 thou.
Conventional
Spray Pressure Pot:
Pressure: 3.44-4.08 bar/50-60 psi (gun pressure). Pot pressure (6 ft hose) 8-10
psi. Tip Size: 0.89-1.4 mm/35-50 thou. Siphon Cup: Pressure: 3.44-4.47
bar/50-65 psi - gun pressure. Tip Size: 1.8-2.2 mm/70-85 thou.
Other Spray pressures listed are recommendations only. The applicator may use
any settings which yield the best results for the individual spraying technique
and current weather conditions. It is always good painting practice to apply
the finish enamel soon after sanding to avoid surface contamination. Always
apply at least one coat of Pre-Kote over area treated with Surfacing Putty 257
to seal the putty and eliminate shadows.
Some
Important Points:
Pre-Kote is a high solids primer. Avoid a heavy application as this may lead to
solvent entrapment. Product temperature should be minimum 10 degrees C/50
degrees F and maximum 29 degrees C/85 degrees F. Ambient temperature should be
minimum 10 degreeas C/50 degrees F and maximum 35 degrees C/95 degrees F.
Substrate temperature should be minimum 10 degrees C/50 degrees F and maximum
29 degrees C/85 degrees F.
Compatibility/Substrates: Apply to clean, dry, properly
prepared surfaces only. Do not apply over clear epoxy such as Epiglass Epoxy.
