First clean and dry all surfaces to remove oil, grease and other contaminants and remove any loose and flaking old finish. For oily, greasy, waxed or varnished surfaces prepare by scrubbing with a green scourer or 00 steel wool soaked with ESP. Wipe clean after 5-10 minutes then follow the standard application instructions.
Apply ESP generously with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth. If ESP crawls or separates, the surface is not clean. Wipe off ESP and re-clean according to above directions before continuing. Leave to stand for 5 minutes then lightly wipe over the surface in one direction with a clean cloth to remove any excess ESP. Allow to dry for 2 hours. When dry, ESP may be left up to 7 days before applying the finish. If this time has passed, re-apply ESP as directed before painting.
- Shake well before application
- Do not thin
- Ensure the new finish is compatible with the old finish
- Use clean cloths to apply the ESP and change them regularly
- Do not use ESP for dipping
Always follow manufacturer's instructions found on the bottle.
Q: What can you apply to ESP?
A: Any water-based or oil-based, acrylic or alkyd paint or varnish. If the paint can be cleaned with water or white spirit, it will be all right for ESP.
Q: What does it mean if the paint won't spread properly when applied?
A: This means that the ESP wasn't sufficiently dry when the paint was applied. In this case, wipe off the paint before it dries. Reapply the ESP. Allow to dry. Use a hairdryer to accelerate drying. Reapply the paint.
Q: What if the paint crawls or separates when applied?
A:In such cases, the surface was either not clean or the ESP was not dry. In such cases remove all coatings, clean the surface thoroughly, and reapply ESP, ensuring it is completely dry before starting to paint.
Q: What are the best uses for Easy Surface Prep (ESP)?
A:The best uses of ESP are
