Contego PFB should not be applied when the relative humidity exceeds 80% or the surface to be coated is less than 40oF (5° C) or less than 15o F (‐9° C) above the current or forecasted dew point. The product is best applied when ambient temperatures are between 50oF (10° C) and 95oF (35° C). While the product can be applied at lower temperatures, viscosity may be a problem and, if applied at higher than recommended temperatures, there may be a risk of runs or sags. Once applied and cured, extremely low or high temperatures should not be a problem. On combustible substrates such as dimensional lumber, manufactured wood (Oriented Strand Board, Particle Board, Plywood, etc.), polyurethane foam, and drywall (GWB) a primer is not required but may be useful if: • Dimensional Lumber – The wood is very old and/or dry and would likely absorb too much of the Contego coating. • Manufactured Wood – The substrate is very old and/or dry or if the resin content is unusually high. • Polyurethane Foam – The foam is soy‐based or made from other organics that emit a vegetable oil. • Drywall (GWB) – The drywall has been previously painted with oil‐based (alkyd) paint or if you’re not sure. • On structural steel and other metals such as aluminum, copper, brass, or composites, ‐ a primer is always required. No exceptions have been observed regarding what kind or brand of primer can be used. Even inexpensive shop primer has shown no incompatibilities. However, doing a test patch is always recommended with any new combinations of primer and our product since it is impossible to have tested every product from every manufacturer.
