SURFACE PREPARATION

All surfaces must be clean, free from loose or peeling paint, grease, oil, dirt, rust, mill scale and other contaminants. If this procedure is not observed, the drying and adhesion of any coating will be adversely affected.

Previously Painted Surfaces: Dull gloss areas by light sanding to enhance adhesion. If necessary, prime with Ronan Sticktite White or Prime-All.

Metal Surfaces: Remove loose rust and scale with a wire brush, steel wool and/or sandpaper. All oil, grease and contamination must be removed. Acidic or alkaline surfaces should be neutralized. Prime with Ronan Universal Primer.

Galvanized Metal and Aluminum: Surface should be wiped with solvent to remove oil and grease. A mild solution of phosphoric acid should be used for etching to assume a good bond. If acids are not available slight surface sanding will be beneficial. Prime with Ronan Universal Primer.

Concrete: A white powdery deposit (efflorescence), often found on concrete and masonry surfaces should be completely removed with a stiff wire brush. New concrete should set four (4) to six (6) weeks before coating. All concrete surfaces should be etched with a solution of four (4) parts water to one (1) part muriatic acid. Let solution soak on surface for 15 minutes before rinsing with clean water. Allow 48 hours to dry before painting. Prime with Ronan Prime-All.

MDO Plywood: Clean surface to eliminate oil, grease and other contaminants. Prime face with Prime-All. All edges should be puttied and then primed with two coats of Ronan Prime-All.

Masonite: Clean surface to eliminate oil, grease and other contaminants. Prime with Prime-All.

Vinyl Surfaces: Pre-treat surface by wiping with isopropyl alcohol, then allow to dry fully before painting. Because there are many different types of vinyl, it is recommended that Aquacote be tested for suitability before using. To test, apply Aquacote to a small section, then let dry fully (8 hours). Apply a piece of tape to the coated area, then remove. Coating should not lift with the tape. Fiberglass, Glass, Ceramic, Other Glossy Surfaces: Solvent wipe to eliminate oil, grease, etc. Slight sanding of surface will be beneficial. Prime with Ronan Prime-All.

APPLICATION

Follow surface preparation instructions. Stir thoroughly before use. Use any good quality bristle brush. May be applied by roller with 1/2” synthetic cover. Keep the roller wet. Roll in one direction, rewet, then cross roll. May also be spray applied with equipment intended for waterborne coatings. Refer to spray equipment manufacturer’s recommendations.
