Surface Preparation 

Remove all surface contamination by washing with an appropriate cleaner, rinse thoroughly and allow to dry. Existing peeled or checked paint should be scraped and sanded to a smooth, sound surface (See warning below). Stains from water, smoke, ink, pencil, grease, etc. should be sealed with the appropriate primer/sealer. If existing paint is in good condition, priming is not needed. If a surface is new, priming and painting with acrylic wall paint will provide the best, uniform surface for applying the Weathered Granite Texture. 

Application

• Stir contents before use. 
• May be tinted with waterborne or Universal colorants (UTC), up to 10% by volume. 
• If tinting, mix thoroughly with a drill and paddle mixer or similar mixing apparatus. Note: this product does not mix reliably on a paint shaker. 
• Trowel, brush, roller or spray apply. 
• Apply at temperatures between 50° F & 90° F. 
• May be thinned with water, up to 30% by volume. 
• Apply only to clean, dry, painted or primed surfaces. 
• Allow a minimum of 1 to 4 hours drying time between coats. 
• Test your technique on a practice board before applying to walls.
• For interior use.

Trowel Application: Wipe trowel edges periodically to clean and prevent build-up of dried material. Due to the crushable aggregate, this product will take on a smoother finish with a darker cast the longer it is worked. Minimal troweling will result in a rougher, more “peppery” finish. Final layer may be burnished while wet for a smooth finish. 

Brush application: Thin Weathered Granite Texture with water to increase brushability. Roller Application: Use a texture roller cover to transfer to the work surface for subsequent tooling. 

Spray Application: Spraying allows for a consistent, uniform amount of product to be applied rapidly for a quick follow up knock down. In addition to speed in transferring the material to wall surfaces, this is an effective way to uniformly coat 3-dimensional surfaces. When spraying, wear eye protection and particulate respirator, and prevent others from coming into contact with spray mist. 

Tools:

• Trowel: Use a stainless steel or plastic trowel designed to apply decorative plasters. 
• Brush: Natural white bristle brush preferred. 
• Roller: Texture roller cover.

Spray equipment options:

• Hopper Sprayer: 
• Marshalltown SharpShooter® or equivalent • #2 tip (4/16” / 6mm orifice); 40 PSI 
• No reduction required, but may be reduced up to 30% to adjust application properties. Pump/compressed air sprayers with reservoir: 
• Best Recommendation: Graco® TexSpray RTX 1500 or equivalent 
• “Gray” tip; ”high” air volume setting 
• Reduce 10% - 15% with water when using line feed from stationary hopper.

Coverage: Highly dependent on application technique and number of layers. Approx. 50-150 sq.ft./gal.. 

Dry Time: @ 50% RH, 77° F: Touch 1 hour. Recoat in 12-24 hours. Cold weather & high humidity will slow down cure time. 

Clean Up: Clean your skin and equipment immediately after use with soap and warm water. Consult with local authorities for methods of disposal. 

Storage: Store in a cool/dry location @ temperatures between 45° F & 95° F. Do not allow material to freeze or be exposed to temperatures exceeding 120° F for extended periods.
