LIMITATIONS:

Do not use on unprimed metals.

Do not use on stained glass, frosted glass, coated glass, etched glass, textured glass and Plexiglas™ or plastic glass because the WM will be impossible to remove without damage.  Since on some coated glass the coating may be hard to detect, ask the owner and test on a small spot before using WM.

Do not apply lacquers, primers or paints containing ketones or alcohols over the WM.

Do not topcoat the WM with alkyd paints.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

SURFACE PREPARATION :

Prepare the trim surfaces as you would prior to painting with any latex paint.  Clean the glass.

Remove all paint and stickers.  Do not use over glossy, oily or chalky surfaces.

APPLICATION :

Do not dilute since it may cause sagging.

Apply WM when surface and air temperature is above 50°F.

Stop application at least one hour before heavy dew or rain.

 Stir before using.

When using the WM as a mask and primer on unpainted or scraped wood frames, apply the WM over the entire surface of glass and frame using spray, brush or roller.

When using the WM as a mask only (on primed or painted frames), apply the WM over the entire surface of the glass and on to as much of the frame as desired.

When spraying WM, use a light horizontal coat and then immediately a vertical coat to cover an area.  When using an airless sprayer, use a tip of 411-513 size and a pressure of under 2500 PSI.  When using a HVLP sprayer, use the instructions for a thick latex paint. 

The thickness of the coating should be at least 8-10 mils when wet. That thickness will give a strong enough coat to be peeled in one piece. Too thick a coating will run or sag.  Practice to achieve the correct thickness.  If the WM film does not come off in one piece after being topcoated with latex paint, spray with more WM to get the correct thickness.

It is important to smooth out any runs or sags on the trim while wet.  A damp sponge brush can be used to smooth out runs or sags.  A fairly rough coat on the glass is OK.

COVERAGE :  150-200 square feet per gallon.

DRYING :

ALLOW THE WM TO DRY THROUGHLY BEFORE TOPCOATING

Allow to dry at least 60 minutes.  High humidity will increase drying time to 2-4 hours.  Film remains slightly tacky to the touch even when dry.  Film is not dry until it is clear.  If the film is topcoated before it is dry, moisture will be trapped in the film.  Eventually, the moisture will pass through the latex paint topcoat but at a much slower rate. The WM film and the latex paint topcoat will be tender for much longer. If the topcoat dries before the mask, it is possible to have the topcoat alligator or crack.

PAINTING :

Apply a latex paint over the WM.

REMOVING WM :

Do not leave on glass more than 30 days.

Score the WM coating with a 5-in-1 tool, dull razor blade or knife around the entire edge of the glass.

Lift the edge and peel the WM coating from the glass. 

Note:  The coating may be difficult to remove from the glass in very warm/dry/sunny conditions. Remove in the morning if possible. Cool and moisten the coating by dampening with water on a sponge or cloth to aid removal if needed.  If WM still is difficult to remove, wait until the next day and remove early in the morning when the coating is full of moisture.
