SURFACE PREPARATIONS
NEW CONSTRUCTION:

Gypsum Board should be installed in accordance with local codes and specifications, with joints taped, spackled, sanded smooth, and allowed to dry.

WALLPAPERED WALLS:

Remove existing wallpaper and any loose paper on the gypsum board. Mold or mildewed areas must be cleaned. Using dry-wall spackle, repair any damaged area and sand smooth.

PAINTED WALLS:

Remove any loose paint. Thoroughly clean wall surface to remove grease, dirt, etc., and allow to dry.

APPLICATION
MULTICOAT TOP COAT 2000 is furnished in 65 lb bags and field mixed with potable (clean) water in approximate amount of 1¼ - 1½ gallons per bag, preferably with special MULCTICOAT Mixing Paddle. Mix vigorously to disperse all lumps and thoroughly wet all particles. Use margin trowel to clear vessel walls. Adjust to desired spray consistency by small additions of water.

Screen material through 1/8" mesh screen and pour into a standard hopper gun. Using ¼" orifice plate and 30 psi air pressure, spray wall uniformly. Once the shiny appearance of the material is gone, "knock down" with stainless steel trowel. Allow to dry 24 to 48 hours, depending on ambient temperature and humidity, before proceeding to apply COLORSEAL.

COLORSEAL
MULTICOAT COLORSEAL is applied in two thin coats. Dry first coat to touch before applying second coat. Allow to dry 24 hours before exposing to use.

COVERAGE
Each 65 lb bag of TOP COAT 2000 will cover approximately 250 sq ft. Each gallon of COLORSEAL applied in two coats will cover approximately 175-200 sq ft. Will vary depending on texture desired.

LIMITATIONS/PRECAUTIONS
Protect adjacent surfaces from over-spray of TOP COAT. While wet, TOP COAT may be removed with wet sponges. When dry, TOP COAT will require mechanical methods for removal. When applying COLORSEAL, be sure to cut-in ceiling wall juncture within 15 minutes of wall application to keep color consistent. Do not apply if surface or ambient temperature is below 50¡ F and falling or above 100¡ F and rising.
