Sheetrock Brand Tuff Hide Primer Surfacer

Sheetrock Brand Tuff Hide Primer Surfacer - PRTH-28

USG Boral SHEETROCK® Brand Tuff Hide™ Primer-Surfacer is a dual-purpose latex-based coating designed especially for interior application over new drywall. For level 5 drywall finish, a single spray application provides the same highest quality drywall finish as the traditional two-step process of skim coating surfaces with joint compound, followed by a coat of primer. Tuff Hide primer surfacer dries white; when a flat white finish is preferred for non-contact surfaces such as ceiling applications Tuff Hide can be left unpainted to produce a smooth finished surface.

Specifications

Application

Application: Airless spray application only. Use professional equipment that meets or exceeds the following rating when spraying through 15m of 6mm I.D. high-pressure hose: output at least 3.8 Liter per minute; pump pressure rated at 2,700-3,000 psi; and accommodates a 0.8mm spray tip at 2,000 psi (Graco Mark V™ or equivalent). Use a 30-mesh filter located in the high-pressure manifold. Use a spray-tip orifice between 0.6 to 0.8mm. It is recommended to use a Graco heavy-duty texture spray gun or equivalent that accommodates a Graco Reverse-A-Clean (RAC) SwitchTip. Test the spray pattern prior to application. To apply, hold spray gun perpendicular to the surface approximately 45cm away. Move the gun parallel to the surface at a steady rate. Overlap preceding application by 1/2 of the fan width for uniform paint thickness. Spray from left to right to scratch in the initial coat at approximately half of the desired thickness. Then crosshatch spray up and down as the double-up coat to the desired thickness. When painting corners, aim the gun toward the center of the corner to ensure both sides are sprayed evenly. When used in lieu of a skim coat of joint compound and paint primer coat in a Level 5 gypsum board finish, apply to a minimum Wet Film Thickness (WFT) of 0.4mm. In all applications, a wet film thickness in excess of 0.5mm is not recommended. During and after application, avoid drafts and maintain 55°F (13°C) minimum product, air and surface temperatures until surface is dry. Note: May be roller applied for use as a high-solids, primer paint coat. Use a high-quality roller, with 6-9mm nap roller cover on smooth surfaces. Apply to a wet film thickness (WFT) of 0.1-0.2mm

Mixing

Mixing: Stir gently. Use fresh material. Do not thin. Thinning will reduce performance. Do not intermix with any other product. May be tinted with up to 240ml per 28kg pail of universal colorants.
