PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.)
Rust-Oleum® Specialty Glow In The Dark is a luminous paint
that creates a glowing effect for 2-4 hours in the dark after
being charged by natural or artificial light. It can be applied
to wood, metal, drywall and plastic. Periodic re-application
may be needed for outdoor use. IMPORTANT! Use over a
white or light colored surface.
Use outdoors or in a well-ventilated area such as an open
garage. Use when temperature is between 50°F (10°C) and
90°F (32°C) and humidity is below 65% to ensure proper
drying. Avoid spraying in very windy and dusty conditions.
Cover surrounding area to protect from spray mist.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Remove all dirt, grease, oil, salt and chemical contaminants
by washing the surface with a commercial detergent, or
other suitable cleaning method. Rinse with fresh water and
allow to thoroughly dry. Remove loose paint and rust with a
wire brush or sandpaper. Lightly sand glossy surfaces.
WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint from any
surface, you may release lead paint dust. LEAD IS TOXIC.
EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS
ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE; ESPECIALLY IN
CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO AVOID
EXPOSURE. Wear a NIOSH approved respirator to control
lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a HEPA vacuum and
a wet mop. Before you start, find out how to protect yourself
and your family by contacting the National Lead Information
Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/lead.
