PRODUCT BENEFITS: This high quality SOMAY Rapid Dry Sealer has been formulated especially for exterior or interior use where a fast drying sealer is required.  It is particularly appropriate for use over water stains, wood putty, or spackling, as no special solvent is needed and normally no gradual "spotting through" due to moisture should occur.

SOMAY Rapid Dry Sealer is also appropriate for use over "hot spots" or fire damaged areas, because it will completely seal the sooty smell on the surface and will not raise the grain of wood surfaces.  The finish coat normally can be applied over SOMAY Rapid Dry Sealer within a couple of hours.

SOMAY Rapid Dry Sealer may also be used as a Finish Coat where very fast drying is essential.  It gives a very hard, easy to wash, flat finish, which makes it especially useful in bathrooms, laundry rooms, kitchens, etc.

SURFACE PREPARATION: The secret of a successful painting job is proper surface preparation.  Surfaces MUST be free of anything which could adversely affect the adhesion of this coating to the surface, including loose, scaling, peeling, blistering, chipping, cracking, flaking, chalking or powdering paint; dust, dirt, sand, soot, grease, oil, tar, wax, soap film or petroleum-based residue; lye, lime, salt, chlorine, calcimine, efflorescence, or any other chemically reactive substance; and must be completely free of all mold, fungus, mildew or any other growing organism of any kind.  Infirm surfaces MUST be made firm.

To remove dirt, grease, etc., wash with water and detergent and then rinse thoroughly  with clean water.  To remove mildew, fungus, etc., scrub with a solution made with 16 fluid ounces (473 mL) of liquid household bleach and 2 fluid ounces (59 mL) of detergent in one gallon (3.785 L) of water.  Rinse thoroughly with clean water. 

All surfaces must be completely DRY before applying this paint.

APPLICATION: Stir SOMAY Rapid Dry Sealer thoroughly before using. Apply with a clean, good quality brush, roller or spray.  Apply only at temperatures above 50° F. (10° C).  Do not apply in damp or rainy weather.   One coat, applied at approx. 2 mils dry film thickness, should be sufficient under the finish coat.

THINNING: Use SOMAY Rapid Dry Sealer as received in the can, without thinning or diluting for most surfaces.   If paint seems too thick or heavy, thin sparingly with xylene, never using more than one-half pint (8 fl. oz.) per gallon of paint.  DO NOT MIX with any other paint.

COVERAGE:  Apply at a spreading rate not exceeding 350 sq.ft. per gallon on a smooth, non-porous surface.  Rough, textured or porous surfaces will require more paint.

DRYING TIME: Under normal good drying conditions, 50° relative humidity, 70° F., and good air movement across the painted surface, SOMAY Rapid Dry Sealer will dry to the touch in approximately 15 minutes, and the succeeding coat may be applied in approximately two hours.

CLEAN UP: Keep a cloth dampened with mineral spirits or paint thinner handy while painting to wipe up spills immediately. Clean brushes, rollers, tools and other application equipment immediately after use with mineral spirits, turpentine or synthetic reducer, before paint dries thoroughly.
