SURFACE PREPARATION:
New Concrete
Allow new concrete to dry for 14-28 days under normal weather conditions before painting. Surface to be painted should be clean and dry, free from oil, grease, dust, dirt, contaminants, and all loose grit and mortar. If neutralizing, treat surface with a solution of 1 part Nation™ Masonry Neutralizer NS-10 diluted in 16 parts water, applying liberally by brush or roller. Let dry overnight before rinsing with water to remove white crystals that form on the surface. Let dry before painting. However, if the concrete has been cured for more than 28 days, there is no need for neutralizer.

Drywall Substrates
Install and secure joints as per manufacturer’s recommendations.

Repainting
Scrape off all loose, scaling, flaking, and peeling paint as necessary. Make sure the surface is clean, dry, and good weather persists prior to painting.

For repainting concrete with a chalky surface, use BOYSEN^® Chalk Blocker B-7304 as surface conditioner. In case of mildew infestation, treat with a bleach solution (1:3, laundry bleach to water, respectively) by swabbing or brushing. To ensure proper treatment, let stand for 24 hours before cleaning off residue. Let dry.
