SURFACE PREPARATION

Surface to be painted should be clean and dry, free from oil, grease, dust, dirt, contaminants, and all loose grit and mortar.

New Concrete

Allow new concrete to dry for 14-28 days under normal weather conditions before painting. If neutralizing, treat surface with a solution of 1 part BOYSEN®® Masonry Neutralizer B‑44 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.

Wooden Substrates

Hammer all nails deep enough to apply putty. Sand rough wood until smooth and then dust off before painting.

Repainting

Scrape off all loose, scaling, flaking, and peeling paint manually or by using BOYSEN®® Paint and Varnish Remover B‑141, as necessary. Wash surfaces clean and completely remove chemical residue. Let it dry.
For repainting concrete with chalky old paint, 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. For repainting wooden surfaces, prime with BOYSEN®® WoodPrime™ B‑180 before recoating.

SERVICE CONDITIONS

Allow paint to dry for at least a week before writing on the surface. Wipe chalk markings off using moderate pressure. If thorough cleaning is needed, use a soft cloth with any gentle household cleaners. Do not use abrasive cleaners as these may damage the paint film. It is not recommended to use oil pastels, crayons, or chalk markers for BOYSEN®® Chalk it.
