3. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Basic Use: Pigmented, textured interior/exterior seamless wall finish. For use on a wide range of wall surfaces, such as drywall, concrete, concrete block, brick, stucco, wood, glass, plaster, metal, and plastic. Excellent as a "camouflage" coating over existing blemished surfaces.

Designed for spray application, a variety of textures is possible; fine, medium, or heavy splatter; medium or heavy lace; bark; cypress; and other special textures.

Durable, flexible, odorless, and has rapid drying properties with long term adhesion qualities. Excellent breathability. Fungus and mildew resistant.

An environmentally safe coating system, fully compliant with all existing Volatile Organic Contents (V.O.C.) regulations.

Composition and Materials: Combination of a water-based urethane and 100% acrylic-based terpolymer with elastomeric properties. Coating system consists of a MT/C Base Coat and MT/C Finish Coat over properly primed substrates.

5. INSTALLATION

Application Equipment: Suitable spray equipment for the base and finish coats. Base coat, only, may be roller coated. Special texturing utilizes equipment recommended by manufacturer.

Surface Preparation: Remove all surface contaminants, including dust, dirt, mildew, form oils, laitance, and other potential bond breakers. Removal means may include sandblasting, waterblasting, electric sanding, or wire brushing, pursuant to manufacturer's recommendations.

Fill large cracks, holes, or voids with an appropriate patching compound, texturing to match adjacent surface. For cracks between 1/16" - 1/8" in width, cut out and fill with recommended patching compound.

Recommended Primers: Dependent upon substrate and exposure (interior or exterior); refer to chart.

All primers must cure pursuant to manufacturer's instructions under acceptable environmental conditions prior to coating system application.

6. REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE

Uncured During Application: Scrape off undesirable texture with a broad knife. Smooth down as much as possible. Let dry and re-apply base coat to repaired area. Once base coat has dried, re-apply desired texture.

After Full Cure: If needed, existing texture may be removed using a latex paint stripper. Mask off surrounding areas to be repaired. Apply stripper and allow to soak for 20 minutes. Use a paint scraper to scrape off remover and loosened finish. For stubborn areas, use dry #2 coarse steel wool, sand paper, or a wire brush; and scrub loose. Make necessary repairs to substrate with an appropriate patching compound and materials. Ensure that patched areas are finished so that they are flush with surrounding substrate. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and let dry. Re-apply MT/C base coat to repaired area. Once base has dried, re-apply finish coats in the desired order and texture.

Application:

Base Coat to provide uniform pinhole-free film over entire surface.
Finish Coat applied to desired texture, pursuant to manufacturer's recommendations. Guideline coverage rates as defined in chart. Optional top coats available; consult manufacturer.
