GENERAL SURFACE PREPARATION/APPLICATION
WARNING: If you scrape, sand, or remove old paint, you may release lead dust or fumes. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST OR FUMES CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a properly fitted, NIOSH-approved respirator and prevent skin contact to control lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a HEPA vacuum and a wet mop. Before you start, find out how to protect yourself and your family by contacting the USEPA National Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/lead. Follow these instructions to control exposure to other hazardous substances that may be released during surface preparation.
- DIRECTIONS: Surfaces must be clean, structurally sound, and free of loose particles. For smooth surfaces, adhesion can be improved by lightly sanding bond area. Cut cartridge tip to desired bead size, puncture foil seal inside the tip of the cartridge, and place cartridge into caulk gun.
- Cabinets & Countertops: Apply ¼” (6 mm) bead to contact areas. Press into place. Mechanical fasteners must be used for wall cabinets.
- Furring Strips or Studs: Apply ¼” (6 mm) zigzag bead to each strip or stud. Press into place. Use nails at both ends. Drywall: Apply ¼” (6 mm) zigzag bead to each stud. Press drywall into place. Position drywall panels so that edges meet at stud center. Nail as required.
