Scraping
Things you should know before you paint....
Stucco
Must be clean and free of any loose stucco. If recommended procedures for applying stucco are followed, and normal drying conditions prevail, the surface may be painted in 30 days.

Wood — Exterior
Must be clean and dry. Prime and paint as soon as possible. Knots and pitch streaks must be scraped, sanded, and spot primed before a full priming coat is applied.

Wood — Interior
All finishing lumber and flooring must be stored in dry, warm rooms to prevent absorption of moisture, shrinkage, and roughening of the wood. All surfaces must be sanded smooth, with grain never across it.

Vinyl Siding
Vinyl siding must be cleaned thoroughly by scrubbing with a warm, soapy water solution,. Rinse thoroughly.



Block (Cinder and Concrete)
Remove all loose mortar and foreign material. Surface must be free of laitance, concrete dust, dirt, form release agents, moisture curing membranes, loose cement, and hardeners.

Drywall — Interior and Exterior
Must be clean and dry. All nail heads must be set and spackled. Joints must be taped and covered with joint compound.

Epoxy — Catalyzed
Catalyzed epoxies are coatings produced by combining an epoxy resin with a curing agent. Solvent evaporation causes the surface to dry while a chemical cross-linking process, called copolymerization, is the curing mechanism. They are excellent coatings for walls, producing a surface that is highly resistant to abrasion, chemicals, and cleaning.

Water Blasting
Removal of oil grease dirt, loose rust, loose mill scale, and loose paint by water at pressures of 2,000 to 2,500 psi at a flow of 4 to 14 gallons per minute.
