Caution

Technical Information

CAUTION! COMBUSTIBLE. KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT, SPARKS, FLAME AND ALL OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION. Due to the combustible nature of solvents in this product, care should be taken not to expose freshly treated article or surface to fire or flame. Use outdoors in an open air area. Do not use in areas where vapors can accumulate and concentrate such as basements, bathrooms or small enclosed areas. Vapors may spread long distances. DO NOT use this product for any use that requires quantities of product to be spread over large surfaces (more than 3 square feet). The potential for fire and health effects increase dramatically when used over large areas. USE ONLY WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION TO PREVENT BUILDUP OF VAPORS. Open all windows and doors. Use only with a cross ventilation of moving fresh air across the work area. If strong odor is noticed or you experience slight dizziness, headache, nausea or eye-watering - STOP - ventilation is inadequate. Leave area immediately. DANGER! Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Contains Mineral Spirits. Reports have associated repeated and prolonged over exposure to solvents with neurological and other physiological damage. For further information, refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet. This product should not be used frequently or on a regular basis without properly engineered air control systems designed to prevent exceeding appropriate TLV. It is intended for occasional use only. Do not take internally. Avoid prolonged or repeated breathing of vapors or spray mist. Avoid contact with eyes or prolonged contact with skin. Prolonged contact with skin may cause irritation. Rinse off skin after use. Close container after each use. Do not reuse this container. For OSHA controlled work place and other regular users - Use only with adequate ventilation under engineered air control systems designed to prevent exceeding appropriate TLV. For occasional use, where engineered air control is not feasible, use properly maintained and properly fitted NIOSH approved respirator for organic solvent vapors. A dust mask does not provide protection against vapors. FIRST AID - IF SWALLOWED, do not induce vomiting. Call your poison control center, hospital emergency room or physician immediately. IN CASE OF EYE CONTACT, immediately flush with water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists, get medical attention. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
