Overview

Owatrol ESP Easy Surface Prep is a convenient wipe-on/wipe-off solution for priming and preparing shiny surfaces prior to painting. Ideal for non-porous surfaces like ceramic tiles and melamine units, ESP offers a safe and effective prep method. Its user-friendly properties include being easy on the hands, colourless, and virtually odourless. Simply apply with a lint-free cloth for effortless application and removal.

Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, ESP allows for painting within 2 hours of application or up to 7 days later.

• Easy to apply
• Eliminates the need for sanding
• Does not remove or dull the old finish.

Preparation

First clean and dry all surfaces to remove oil, grease and other contaminants and remove any loose and flaking old finish. For oily, greasy, waxed or varnished surfaces prepare by scrubbing with a green scourer or 00 steel wool soaked with ESP. Wipe clean after 5-10 minutes then follow the standard application instructions.

Application

Apply ESP generously with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth. If ESP crawls or separates, the surface is not clean. Wipe off ESP and re-clean according to above directions before continuing. Leave to stand for 5 minutes then lightly wipe over the surface in one direction with a clean cloth to remove any excess ESP. Allow to dry for 2 hours. When dry, ESP may be left up to 7 days before applying the finish. If this time has passed, re-apply ESP as directed before painting.

• Shake well before application
• Do not thin
• Ensure the new finish is compatible with the old finish
• Use clean cloths to apply the ESP and change them regularly
• Do not use ESP for dipping

Always follow manufacturer's instructions found on the bottle.
