DESCRIPTION

Stains in the paint surface caused by virtually anything that would bleed, leak, or stick into the paint film.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

• Water stains.
• Tobacco smoke leaves yellow stains.
• Fire smoke and soot damage.
• Rust.

SOLUTION

• Water: The source of the water must be found and repaired. Excessively damaged wood, plaster or drywall may need to be replaced. Peeling paint must be removed if present.
• The stained area must be properly sealed with a primer designed to “hold out” water stains.
• Tobacco smoke stains, fire smoke and shoot, and grease and oil all should be cleaned
• As possible from the surface using ProClean Professional Prep wash cleaner or other appropriate cleaner, stains must be sealed before top coating.
• Rust must be mechanically removed and primed with a rust-inhibiting primer.
• Tannins are extractives found in wood that can be leached out, generally with water and discolor a coating.
• Solvent-soluble stains: dried water stains, smoke stains and related odors, ink, and pencil stains.
