- Ideal for repainting chalky aluminum cladding, plywood or hardboard cladding and cementitious cladding.
Surface Preparation
- Follow directions on the paint label.
- Wash protected areas (overhangs, porch ceilings, etc.) with detergent and water. Rinse thoroughly before painting.
- To treat mildew make a solution of 1 part bleach to 3 parts fresh water to this add detergent – Allow this solution to remain on the surface for 10-15 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and allow washed areas to dry before painting.
- Avoid contact with eyes and skin, and provide adequate ventilation.
Application
NOTE: Use only in the first coat of paint
- Shake container well.
- Always mix a small amount of Owatrol E-B with paint to test compatibility.
- Mix 1 part Owatrol E-B to 4 parts paint.
- Stir paint and Owatrol E-B mixture thoroughly. If paint thickens add enough water to return paint to its original consistency.
- Apply paint as usual.
- Apply any additional coats without Owatrol E-B. Apply additional coats when the Owatrol E-B/ paint mixture is dry.
- Do not apply more paint while the Owatrol E-B/ paint mix film feels soft or tacky.
Information
Coverage: Coverage will vary with the texture and porosity of the surface. Generally 20% less material is used than if the paint or stain had been applied without Owatrol E-B.
