APPLICATION GUIDE

Surface Preparation

Note: If applying Tex-Guard over freshly applied texture, no further priming is required;

Ensure the texture coating is completely dry, especially during winter. The textured surface should be clean and of uniform texture and appearance.

  • Areas not to be coated should be masked and protected.
  • All surfaces to be coated must be clean, sound, free from contaminants including; oil, mould release, dust, dirt, silicone, mud, grease, salt, efflorescence, animal droppings and any loose or flaking material.
  • All substrates other than freshly applied texture must be primed, normally with JPS Primer. Where substrates are chalky &/or prone to dusting, JPS Gripcoat must be used.
  • Apply the JPS Primer or JPS Gripcoat and allow to dry (approx45mins)
  • Please refer to data sheet for JPS Primer prior to using

Tex-Guard for substrate preparation before use.

MANUFACTURER’S COMMENTS;

JPS Coatings cannot accept responsibility for variations in colour, strength, appearance, product quality or workability etc resulting from on-site mixing procedures and substrate conditions.

JPS Coatings provides no warranty to exterior light/colour fastness

ROLLER/SPRAY APPLICATION:·

Mix thoroughly with a broad, flat stirrer, using an upward lifting action, or power mixer

  • Tex-Guard may be applied by brush, roller or airless spray. A 10-20mm nap roller is used depending on the type of texture or surface being coated.
  • Typical Airless Spray set up is: Graco Ultra 500 using 0.021 – 0.023 spray tip at approx. 2500 psi.
  • If using a roller, roll the coating in one (1) direction only, to avoid cross masking of layers. Brush and roll at the same time to avoid picture framing.

CLEAN UP:

After use clean up all equipment with water when product is still wet, do not let product dry on equipment. Dry product will require hot water to scrape and clean or paint stripper to remove off surfaces.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

  • Tex-Guard must only be applied in air temperatures between 10oC and 30oC on a dry substrate and must be protected from rain and frost for the first 24 hours. Finished work must be protected from rain, frost and severe weather conditions until fully dried
  • Avoid application in full sun or hot, windy conditions.
  • Apply at recommended spreading rate to ensure optimum performance.
