Flood E-B Emulsa Bond

E-B Emulsa Bond is a stir-in latex/acrylic paint additive for exterior wood, masonry or aluminum siding that helps alleviate peeling problems when painting over a sound but chalky or dusty surface. E-B Emulsa Bond provides a bonding oil, stirs in easily, and does not alter the original finish coat color. It offers a time-saving benefit by eliminating the need to prime.

BASIC USES
• For exterior use only
• Apply EB Emulsa Bond modified paint over sound but chalky paint (latex or oil); sandblasted masonry or weathered, but sound asbestos siding
• Ideal for repainting chalky aluminum siding, T1-11 exterior plywood or hardboard siding and cementitious siding

GENERAL REPAINTING WITH E-B EMULSA BOND
SURFACE PREPARATION:
1. Follow directions on latex paint label.
2. Wash protected areas (overhangs, porch ceilings, etc.) with Flood Wood Cleaner or detergent and water.
3. Rinse thoroughly before painting.
4. If mildew exists remove with a solution of 4 ounces of non-ammoniated detergent (TSP) 1 quart of outdoor bleach and 3 quarts of fresh water. Allow this solution to remain on the surface for 10-15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
5. Avoid contact with eyes and skin, and provide adequate ventilation.
6. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and allow washed areas to dry before painting.

APPLICATION
NOTE: Use only in the first coat of paint
1. Shake container well.
2. Always mix a small amount of E-B Emulsa Bond with paint to test compatibility.
3. For latex house paint, add 32 oz. (1 qt.) E-B Emulsa Bond per gallon.
4. Stir paint and E-B Emulsa Bond mixture thoroughly. If thickening occurs, add enough tap water (up to 8 oz/gal) to return to the consistency of original paint.
5. Paint as usual.
6. Do not recoat with additional E-B Emulsa Bond / paint mixture. If painting additional coats or a finish coat, apply when the E-B Emulsa Bond / paint mixture feels dry. Do not apply more paint while the film feels soft or tacky.

COVERAGE:
While coverage will vary with the texture and porosity of the surface, you will generally use 20% less material than if the paint or stain had been applied without E-B Emulsa Bond.

RESTRICTIONS:
Use only in the first coat. Do not add E-B Emulsa Bond to gloss latex paints for the first coat. E-B Emulsa Bond is not for interior use.
NOTE: Use of latex paint, with or without E-B Emulsa Bond, over heavy accumulations of old, brittle, checked or cracked paints is not recommended.

E-B SOLID HIDING STAIN SYSTEM
This system provides water protection and a color coat of latex in one application. It is designed for repainting previously painted or stained exterior T1-11 plywood and hardboard. The mixture consists of 50% exterior latex paint and 50% E-B Emulsa Bond.

MIXING DIRECTIONS:
NOTE: Custom tinted colors or paints of different manufacturing batch numbers must be blended or boxed together and thoroughly mixed to assure uniformity of color PRIOR to mixing with E-B Emulsa Bond.
• Fill 1/3 of a container with well mixed latex house paint and add an equal amount of E-B Emulsa Bond
• Stir or box this mixture until all of the E-B Emulsa Bond disappears into the paint
• If thickening occur, add tap water (no more than1/2 pint per gallon) to bring the mixture back to the consistency of the original paint

APPLICATION:
1. Apply one full hiding coat by brush, roller or sprayer.
2. If the desired appearance is not achieved in one coat, a second coat of paint WITHOUT E-B Emulsa Bond should be applied.

CLEANUP AND STORAGE
• Clean tools, equipment drips and splatters with a solution of household detergent and water
• If paint is dry, use paint remover or brush cleaner
• Keep brushes and rollers in water when not in use
• Air dry empty cans and saturated rag, then dispose of according to local regulations
• Store unused portion in tightly closed container
• KEEP FROM FREEZING

Flood TWF-SEMI Semi-Transparent Wood Finish


Flood TWF-SEMI Semi-Transparent Wood Finish is a premium-quality finish that provides long-lasting appearance and protection to natural wood. Its exclusive formula combines the rich penetration of an oil with the durability of an acrylic resin. It enhances the natural character of the wood, allowing the grain and texture to show through. TWF-SEMI provides a mildew-resistant finish and delivers unsurpassed peel and fade resistance for three years on decks and five years on siding.

BASIC USES
Exterior wood surfaces, including:
• Siding
• Decks & Docks
• Fences
• Shingles & Siding
• Pressure Treated Lumber
• Plywood (including T1-11)
• Barns
• Rafters & Beams
• Trim Boards
• Outdoor Wood Furniture

SURFACE PREPARATION
GENERAL DIRECTIONS
• Proper surface preparation is essential for warranty application, optimum penetration and overall product performance.
• Surfaces to be stained must be thoroughly clean, porous, dry and free of mildew and other contamination.
• Remove mildew with a solution of one part household bleach to four parts water.
• Completely remove any opaque stain, paint, varnish or sealer to expose bare wood.
NOTE: Test for penetration and absorbency by sprinkling water lightly on freshly prepared wood. If water is absorbed rapidly, surface is porous and free of contamination and ready for stain. If water is repelled, thorough preparation for new wood surfaces must be repeated.

NEW WOOD SURFACES
The ideal time to stain new wood is one to three months after installation. Some new wood surfaces, like smooth cedar, can have a hard, shiny surface called mill glaze, that prevents maximum penetration of a stain. All new wood, especially decks, should be prepared with Flood Wood Stripper or FloodPro® Stripper/Cleaner (1 quart of Flood Wood Stripper per one gallon of water) to open wood so it can accept a new finish. These products reduce mill glaze and remove natural wood chemicals and other factory applied sealers to open wood to allow maximum penetration.

WEATHERED WOOD SURFACES:
Uncoated wood surfaces that have weathered longer than six months require thorough cleaning before staining. Use Flood Wood Stripper, Wood Cleaner or Flood Dekswood® with a pressure washer or stiff bristle brush to remove loose wood fibers, dirt and other surface contaminants.
NOTE: Cedar and redwood may darken with Flood Wood Stripper or FloodPro Stripper/Cleaner. If this occurs, rebrighten with Flood Wood Cleaner or Flood Dekswood before proceeding.

PREVIOUSLY STAINED OR SEALED SURFACES:
For optimum results, apply to bare wood surfaces. Can also be applied over previous applications of Flood TWF-SEMI. Previous stain, varnish or sealer must be completely and thoroughly removed with Flood Wood Stripper or StainStrip per product label directions before proceeding.

COLOR SELECTION
• Before starting job, test your color choice on a small area
• Buy sufficient product for the whole job and box or intermix all product together before staining to avoid color variance
• DO NOT USE TINT BASES UNTINTED
NOTE: Custom tint using colorants that are approved for exterior use only.

APPLICATION
CAUTION: Surfaces are slippery when wet. Use caution when walking on wet surfaces during application.
1. Stir before and periodically during application.
2. Do not thin. Test color in small area.
3. Do not apply in hot sunlight or if cold, wet weather is expected within 48 hours.
4. Apply between 50° F – 80° F.
5. Apply with a synthetic brush, roller (synthetic woven 3/8”-3/4” nap depending on surface texture) or airless sprayer (.013-.017 fluid tip / 1300-1900 psi).
6. Apply an even coat, avoiding heavy application.
7. After sprayer or roller application, backbrush to improve penetration and uniformity of coverage.
8. If an additional coat is required, it may be applied after 3-4 hours.

COVERAGE RATES
• Smooth/moderately porous surfaces: 350 - 400 sq. ft/gal
• Rough/weathered/porous surfaces: 250 - 350 sq. ft/gal
NOTE: Actual coverage rates may vary depending upon substrate type and/or conditions as well as application method.

MAINTAINING TWF-SEMI COLOR FINISH
Surfaces with harsh exposure to sun, weather or foot traffic will show wear more quickly than other areas - if this happens, clean affected areas and recoat as necessary.

CLEANUP AND STORAGE
• Clean up with warm, soapy water.
• If Flood TWF-SEMI is allowed to dry on tools, remove with paint remover.
• Store unused portion in tightly closed container.
• Keep from freezing.

Decorating with Metallic Colors


Many people believe that metallic colors are cold colors that will not bring life to their home.  But there are several ways in which you can use gold, silver, bronze or nickel to make your home look beautiful.  Let us first take a look at the three most popular metallic colors:  nickel ,chrome and silver.  

As most people know, chrome is most seen in the kitchen and in the bathroom.  You will more than likely see chrome in the fixtures in the bathroom or the sink itself will be chrome.  If you don’t like the dull look of chrome in your bathroom, try adding a black wooden mirror frame that will compliment the chrome.  

If the kitchen is more your favorite place for chrome, then a nice chrome stove will give your kitchen a whole new look.  Many people are afraid to put a nice chrome stove in their kitchen thinking that their kitchen will look too industrial.  But you can add special touches like a wooden shelf above the stove and hang some copper pots from the ceiling.  Another great idea to offset the chrome is to use fabrics such as curtains in the window and tablecloths on the kitchen table.  If you are one of the ones who believe that chrome is harsh, then offset it by using materials that are soft such as sheepskin on your chairs.  Now to add color to the kitchen, a blue table cloth or blue curtains would be the perfect choice.  Chrome looks best when paired with deep colors such as maroon, dark blue or forest green.  

The metallic color of silver can spruce up any home.  Now you may be thinking that you can’t match silver with anything and your home with look like a decorated Christmas tree.  Or you may think that silver will make your home look like a hospital.  But this simply isn’t the case.  For a spectacular looking dining room, a black iron dining table with black iron chairs and a glass tabletop pair well with silver upholstered chairs.  

Let’s take a look now at some specific decorating tips for you to use if you are interested in using metallic color accents in your color design.  

Candle holders- Imagine the beautiful glow of a candle held in a metallic colored candle holder.  For colors such as blue or green, choose a holder that is silver or chrome.  On the other hand, you will want to use gold or bronze holders for colors such as orange or red.  

Appliances- For a great look in your kitchen, try using all steel appliances such as stove, refrigerator and toaster.  

Furniture- There is nothing that makes you living room or front porch look more stunning than wrought black iron coffee table or sliver side tables with glass tops.

Choosing Interior Paints

To come up with amazing color combinations that produce amazing results with interior paints, follow these easy steps.

Everyone has a favorite color.  But if you really sit down and think about your favorite color, think about what exactly it is that you like about that color.  Does it put you in a happy mood?  Does it make you feel safe?  Does it give you a feeling of calm?  Does it make you hungry?  These answers may help you decide on interior paint.  What if you still aren’t sure on a color scheme?  Sit down and look through interior design magazines and cut out ideas that catch your eye.  Tape these pictures to a large piece of cardboard paper.  Take the paper with you in each room you go into.  Notice how each of the cutouts make you feel while you are in that room.  

Check out the colors you currently have in the room now.  Decide which colors you want to keep and which colors you are going to get rid of.  Take a look at the room from different angles of the room.  Stand by the windows and check out the colors.  Also what do you see when you walk into the room?  What do you like and dislike about the floors, carpet, furniture, appliances, doors, tiles and curtains.  

Now it’s time to figure what is best for each room in your home.  Before you chose interior paint colors, you need to ask yourself a few questions.  What is the room going to be used for?  Will it be just for entertaining or for everyday use?  How bright is the room now?  Does it face north where there is not much sunlight or does it get lots of sun?  If it doesn’t get much sunlight, choose warm colors and if it is a bright room, tone it down with cool colors.  How big is the room?  This will also tell you if you need to use warm or cool colors.  Warm colors make a room look smaller whereas cool colors will make it look larger.  

Now that you have a clear idea of the colors that you like, it is time to do a little experimenting.  Does any color suggest itself as a starting point for a color scheme?  Maybe a picture, a quilt or afghan, a carpet or rug, a bowl on the coffee table, a vase, a chair covering or a couch?  

There are many ways to apply a color scheme in a room.  Accessories are often a great starting point for choosing interior paint colors and color schemes.  You may have to try different colors until you find the one you like the best.  Paint and hardware stores have many paint swatches you can take home to see how a particular color will look in a certain room in your home.

The final pass before application of Last•n•Last Trek Plus and sealer should be a #100 to #150 grit screen pad or sandpaper. Remove dust completely by sweeping, vacuuming and wiping the floor or work surface with a lint free cloth lightly dampened with water. The floor or work surface and room temperature should be at least 65°F.

Previously Fiinished Wood Surfaces: Remove old finish in poor condition. If the old finish is shellac or contains wax or any stearate, regardless of the condition, remove it completely then follow surface preparation for New Wood Surfaces. If old finish is still sound and good, screen the work surface with a #150 screen disc, #180 grit sand paper, maroon pad or similar. Remove dust completely by sweeping, vacuuming and wiping the work surface with a lint free cloth lightly dampened with water. The work surface and room temperature should be at least 65°F. Two to three coats work best on previously finished surfaces. To achieve a beautiful High Gloss Finish, we recommend 2 coats of Trek Plus Satin followed by one coat of Trek Plus Gloss. To achieve a beautiful Semigloss Finish, we recommend 2 coats of Trek Plus Satin followed by one coat of Trek Plus Semigloss. Sand between coats of Trek Plus Satin with a maroon pad with 220 grit sandpaper strips, and don’t abrade prior to the final coat of Trek Plus Gloss or semigloss. Sealer XL may replace the first coat of finish on unfinished wood.

REMEMBER TO STIR THIS PRODUCT BEFORE AND DURING USE. LET IT STAND FOR 10 MINUTES AFTER STIRRING.

Application:
Apply in well ventilated area by nylon brush, or synthetic waterborne applicator at room temperature and not in direct sunlight.For unstained floor, Sealer XL may be applied followed by The Trek Plus finish. Do not use Sealer XL if floor is to be stained. Last•n•Last Trek Plus looks milky when applied, but will dry to a clear, beautiful finish. Pou a 6-8” wide line of the finish along the starting wall. Apply the finish with the grain of the wood. Using a clean pre-dampened waterborn applicator, pull forward with the grain of the wood, moving the finish towards the opposite wall. Holding the applicator at a snowplow angle will maintain a wet edge at all times. Maintain at least 3” wide wet edge to ensure proper coverage). At the end of each run, turn the applicator towards you and pad out the applicator parallel to the wet edge. Feather out turns. If pushed too hard or fast, drips will fly off the applicator. Missed areas can be touched up if seen right away.To prevent lapping and dry marks, be sure you are using the recommendd overage. Do no spread too thin. Screen the work surface in between coats with any of the following #150
screen disc, #180 grit sand paper, maroon pad or similar. Remember to vacuum and tack thoroughly after screening to remove all dust. Allow minimum of two hours between coats, or until thoroughly dry. Heavy finish application, high humidity or lack of airflow will extend drying times. If waiting longer than 24 hours between coats, sanding is recommended.

Application over stain: Last•n•Last Trek Plus should adhere well to most stain, but a test for adhesion over brands other than Last•n•Last stain is recommended.
