General Description
Stix® Waterborne Bonding Primer is a premium quality, waterborne, acrylic urethane primer/sealer with unparalleled adhesion to the most challenging surfaces, including PVC, Vinyl, Most Plastics, Glass, Tile, Glazed Block, Glossy Paints, PreCoated Siding, Fiberglass, and Galvanized Metals. Stix is also ideal for use on plaster, drywall, wood, and non-ferrous metals, where a low ambient or surface temperature would present a problem for conventional primers. Offers an extremely hard film when cured. Use it on interior and exterior surfaces and topcoat with almost any type of coating including Alkyd, Acrylic Latex, Urethane, Epoxy, and Lacquer Finishes. Stix levels to a smooth surface and cleans up with soap and water
Limitations

- Do not apply in direct sunlight or on a hot surface. Avoid rain, moisture or high humidity for the first 24 hours of curing
- Not intended for immersion service or continuous water contact. Not for below grade applications
- Not recommended for use over polyethylene or polypropylene. Stix® must be top coated for exterior use

Surface Preparation
General – All surface areas to be painted should be clean, dry, sound and free of all dirt, grease, oils, waxes, mildew and any other surface contaminants that can cause paint failure. Dirt and chalk should be thoroughly removed by scrubbing with warm soapy water. Surface wax should be removed with a commercial wax stripper. Grease residue should be removed with a grease and oil emulsifier. Remove all loose chipping, cracking and peeling from previously painted surfaces by hand scraping, sanding, wire brushing and/or by use of power tool cleaning methods such as electric sanders, grinders, etc. Remove any loose rust, mill scale, rust deposits from metal surfaces by hand or power tool cleaning according to SSPC Standards. Repair/replace any seriously damaged and/or delaminated surface areas. Use over most glossy surfaces without sanding.
Mildew – Surface areas affected by mildew should be thoroughly hand scrubbed with a soft to medium bristle scrub brush and a solution of one cup Tri-Sodium Phosphate or a non-ammoniated detergent cleaner mixed with one-part household bleach* and three parts warm water, per gallon solution, allow solution to stand on the affected surface areas for approximately 10 – 20 minutes, then rinsethoroughly with clean water and allow 24 – 48 hours to dry.
- Follow bleach manufacturer’s instructions for safe handling and use of bleach solution
SPECIAL NOTE ON SURFACE PREPARATION:
Glossy Surfaces – Although Stix® is formulated to be applied to hard to coat surfaces without the need for sanding, it is recommended that proper surface preparation still be completed to enhance adhesion properties. Surfaces such as Formica, ceramic tile and glossy painted surfaces should be properly deglossed. Once applied, allow Stix® to cure for approximately 3 to 4 days to achieve maximum resistance to scrape off. However, Stix® may be topcoated with a quality latex or oil-based finish within 3 to 4 hours, depending on overall drying conditions.
WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint, you may release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to control lead exposure. Carefully clean up with a HEPA vacuum and a wet mop. Before you start, find out how to protect yourself and your family by contacting the National Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/le
Application
Stix® may be applied by brush, roller, pad applicator, or airless spray. Use a
high quality nylon brush or a ¼” – ½” synthetic nap roller cover. Do not thin.
Do not apply when surface, air, or product temperature is below 35 °F. Do not
paint in direct sun or on a hot surface. If possible, plan your painting to
avoid rain, moisture, or high humidity for the first 24 hours of curing. Stop
application a minimum of two hours before rain or dew is expected. Do not
paint if surface temperature is within 5 °F of the dew point. When top coating
with two component paints, allow 24 hours drytime before painting. Always test
questionable substrates such as plastics, composites, Kynars, and polyester
surfaces by applying a small area for adhesion and top-coat compatibility
before proceeding with the entire job.
Airless Spray: Tip range between .013 and .017. Total fluid output
pressure at the tip should not be less than 2200 PSI. Preferred pressure is
2500 PSI
Clean Up
Clean brushes, rollers and other equipment with warm, soapy water immediately after use. If dry, clean with lacquer thinner. USE COMPLETELY OR DISPOSE OF PROPERLY. Dry empty containers may be recycled in a can recycling program. Local disposal requirements vary; consult your sanitation department or state- designated environmental agency on disposal options

diisobutyrate, which may cause birth defects based on animal data.
Use only with adequate ventilation. Do not breathe vapors, spray mist or
sanding dust. Ensure fresh air entry during application and drying. Avoid
contact with eyes and prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Avoid exposure
to dust and spray mist by wearing a NIOSH approved respirator during
application, sanding and clean up. Follow respirator manufacturer’s directions
for respirator use. Close container after each use. Wash thoroughly after
handling.
WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including Titanium
dioxide, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer, and
