[Footer.html]TEX•COTE¨ TOP•COTE products were developed by TCA as a superior coating to be compatible with and have excellent adhesion to the different types of TEX•COTE¨ Textured Coatings.
They are all salt spray, moisture, and mildew resistant. The products can be used for color changes, banding, to revive older TEX•COTE¨ projects or by themselves with an appropriate priming system over manufacturer approved substrates.
I. RECOMMENDED OVER:
XL-70¨ TOP•COTE is recommended over the XL-70¨ Coating.
TEX•COTE¨ TOP•COTE is recommended over TC 100 and TC 300. TC TOP•COTE - 19C is recommended over TC 600.
LIMITATIONS
- Do not apply over damp, wet or frozen surfaces.
- Application temperature shall be between 45¡F and 100¡F.
- Do not apply if rain is imminent. AVOID FREEZING.
- Surfaces shall be clean, dry and properly prepared.
- Formulated for use over TCA textured coatings.
- Products shall be handled and stored as shown herein.
- Roof & parapet top caps shall be installed and sealed against water penetration before application.

The TEX•COTE¨ TOP•COTEs can be applied by brush, roller or conventional spray equipment. Coverage rates will be between 200-250 sq. ft. per gallon depending on surface porosity and texture.Surface preparation:
All surfaces must be sound, clean and dry prior to application of TEX•COTE¨ TOP•COTEs. All loose, flaking or oxidized paint shall be removed from surface by sandblasting, water blasting, wire brushing or scraping. Surface contaminants such as dust, dirt, mildew, form oils, loose substrate, etc., shall be removed. If old paint is in sound condition, wash off excess chalk and allow to dry thoroughly. Large cracks, holes and voids must be filled in with cement patching compound which utilized a bonding agent such as TEX-BOND. Texture of patch shall match existing surface. Cracks over 1/16" and no greater than 1/8" shall be filled with Flex-Patch compound.Application
Over a dry, clean, properly prepared surface, apply the TOP•COTE at the Specified application rate herein. Application shall be at uniform film thickness over entire wall. A wet edge shall be maintained during spraying (brushing or rolling) at all times. To prevent lap marks, avoid starting and stopping midway on walls. On large areas, two men spraying simultaneously are recommended to avoid lap marks and spray patterns.If rolling on TOP•COTE, with fully loaded roller, apply in vertical strokes initially, then cross roll for even film, ending with vertical strokes. To prevent lap marks proceed as above and continue to a "natural break" such as panel edge, seam or corner.
NOTE: If TEX•COTE¨ XL-70¨ Coating has cured 14 days or more, one can use any of the other latex top cotes.
Drying/Curing Times:
To touch: 2 hrs. approximately
Hardness: 24 hrs. minimumNOTE: After 24 hours, residual matters in film will continue to cure with additional days of drying. Times are based on ideal weather.
CleanUp/Shelf life:
- For wet material use water to clean up, except XL-70¨ TOP•COTE. XL-70¨ TOP•COTE uses mineral spirits or equal. For dry material use xylol or methyl ethyl ketone.
- 12 month shelf life, based on the following:
Containers stored upright and air tight in a cool, dry place at temperature between 45ˇF and 100ˇF. AVOID FREEZING. Skins formed on surface of product shall be removed prior to mixing, moving or using.
