SURFACE PREPARATION: Careful surface preparation is the most important part of painting. Surfaces to be coated with Safecoat SemiGloss Zero VOC should be sound and cleaned of dirt, grease and oil. Cleaning with an odorless, dye-free, all-purpose cleaner like SafeChoice Super Clean is recommended.

Previously painted surfaces in poor condition should be scraped, sanded smooth, and primed with a coat of Safecoat Primer Undercoater. Always test for adhesion over prior coatings (water based paints do not adhere well to oil based finishes without removal or careful surface preparation, for example).

New wallboard or sheetrock should first be coated with Safecoat New Wallboard Primecoat HPV (Item 1048).

Porous new wood should be sealed and sanded before priming, preferably with a safe product such as Safecoat Transitional Primer (Item 1050). Water and other stains must be blocked so they do not bleed through.

The best finish will be achieved with a primer and two finish coats. Environmental conditions are crucial: if the air temperature is too hot or too cold, the product will not cure properly; if the air or the wood is too dry, or there is too much moisture in or on the surface, other problems may result. In addition, many surfaces contain water-soluble tannins or acids which are activated by the application of a water-based product and will bleed through to the surface. All of these conditions can be avoided with proper preparation. Finally, Safecoat products are formulated to work together. Optimum results are best obtained by using a Safecoat primer, for example, before applying Safecoat paint. Of course, always read the application instructions before beginning the job.

APPLICATION: Always have adequate ventilation. The surface should be completely dry before application. Before using, stir well, then apply as is, using a high quality nylon or synthetic bristle brush or roller of appropriate nap (1/4.-3/8. nap recommended). Do not apply in thick films or load paint onto the surface; thin coats are better than one thick coat. For spraying, reduce with up to 1/2 pint of water per gallon. Use an airless sprayer, minimum 2000 p.s.i., with a .015-.017 tip. Use a 60 mesh filter. When spraying, do not substitute backrolling for a second coat. Always use a painters mask when spraying.

As a person with multiple chemical sensitivity , sometimes even the most well-known "non-toxic" products cause me to have allergic reactions. It is often quite worrisome to try new products. For that reason I have come to rely on Tom Chasm and HealthyHome products for help that has been crucial to my health and wellbeing. HealthyHome's AFM Safecoat paint is the only paint I have been able to use, among all the "special” non-VOC paints (I tried 10 of them!).

Also, I react very badly to polyurethane and looked to Tom for help. The AFM Safecoat Polyureseal BP was the only product I could use to coat my 2600 square feet of new hardwood floors without any adverse reaction whatsover. This was amazing to me!

Additionally, The Airfree Onix 3000 air purifiers really did make rooms free of musty, mold and mildew smells. These and other products, along with Tom's guidance and advice have taken the worry out of home buying, home maintenance and home building for me!
