Uses Recommended for all weights of wallcoverings over new bare drywall or over ALLPRO wallcovering primers. Strippable when used with fabric backed vinyl over bare drywall. Strippability results when adhesive completely cures (approximately 4-6 weeks). Compatible with almost all wallcovering primers.

 

Limitations Not recommended for direct application over oil/alkyd primers. Keep from freezing.

 

Surface Preparation Surface must be clean, dry and free from dirt, dust, grease, oil, mildew, wax, loose paint or wallcovering. Check surfaces for paint bonding, loose wallcoverings, damaged wallboard or plaster by cutting a small X with a sharp knife and attempt removal with a small piece of "Scotch" tape. Repair all unsound surfaces. Prime all surfaces (including oil-based coatings) with an acrylic primer, such as ALLPRO® E•Z PREP™, SUP•R•PREP™ or ULTRA•PREP™. Priming of new bare drywall is not required with fabric-backed wallcoverings. Before proceeding with any unusual conditions, consult your adhesive or wallcovering supplier.

 

Application Use only when the adhesive, wallcovering and surface temperatures are above 50ºF (10ºC). Apply a thin, even coat of adhesive with a pasting machine, brush or roller. If using with pre-pasted wallcoverings, dilute with 1/2 gallon of water per gallon. For some pasting machines, dilute with 1 pint of clean water per gallon. Avoid contact with the surface of embossed, textured or delicate wallcoverings. Book according to the wallcovering manufacturer's instructions.

 

Clean Up lean all equipment immediately after use with warm, clean water. Additional effort may be required if the adhesive is allowed to contact the surface of embossed or textured vinyls.

 

Disposal PRO•CLEAR is water based and does not contain organic solvents. Place empty containers in normal refuse for disposal. Contact your local sanitation department or household hazardous waste coordinator for information concerning possible reuse or disposal of unused water based paints, primers or adhesives.
