Preparing Your Surfaces

Clean and dry surface thoroughly. Scrub stained areas with an all-purpose cleaner to remove any residual stains. Remove all surface dirt, chalk and mildew. Tannin stained areas on wood do not need special surface preparations. For fire damaged areas, remove burned or severely charred areas to sound wood surface. Sand smooth. For mildew stains, this product will seal residual stains from old mildew, but will not resist active mildew growth. All active mildew must be removed from surfaces prior to application by scrubbing affected area with a commercial mildew remover or a solution of 1 part liquid chlorine bleach to 3 parts water. Rinse thoroughly. Wear protective goggles and rubber gloves to avoid chemical contact with skin or eyes.

I LOVED IT we recently did a project to stain our backyard's patio. We wanted to give it an orange color, and that is exactly what we got. It is such a beautiful product that has such great results. June 8, 2013
LoVE IT I love this needed it when my family and I was renovating the house..the wall by the stove had so many stains and this took great care of it after we tried so many other products and home remedies. May 14, 2013

Well use this product again! When my husband and I decided to paint over a lime green wall with polka dots, we knew we were going to find it difficult. We found this primer, and it only took 2 coats! Keep in mind that I am by no means an expert painter, but I was dreading the amount of primer needed for this wall. It was one of the best primers we have used, and I would recommend it to anybody.
