MATERIAL
APPLICATION
COVERAGE
Exterior Wood
Wood Shingles and shakes.
Pressure wash roof to remove all foreign substances (fungi, molds, mildew, etc.)
Be sure surface is clean and dry before treating
Apply with sprayer head held at 8 to 12 inches from surface.
Treat all surface areas
where possible.
Do not expose treated area to moisture for 24 hours.
Treat roofs by applying chemical to surface area and substructure area (attic), if possible
120 sq. ft. per gallon
(Treat with chemical til it begins to run.)
WOOD ROOF SURFACES
(Shakes or Shingles) :
Surface to be treated must be dry (up to 24 hours drying time after a rain and 4 hours after a dew). Surface must be clean. Brooming or air blowing may be necessary to remove leaves and needles. Apply Shingle Safe, by spray, DO NOT DILUTE OR ALLOW PRODUCT TO FREEZE. To maximize coverage start from the ridge down working your way across the roof surface. The sprayer ip should be held approximately 8" to 12" from the surface and at a 45 degree angle (or greater) to the roof surface. The angle will allow coverage underneath the leading edge of the shingle above. The specified application rate is 120 sq. ft. per gallon.FOR OPTIMUM RESULTS, to inhibit or drastically reduce the wind tunnel or blow torch effect of fire in the attic area, treat the underside of the roof in the attic, as well as all other attic substrates, including blown insulation, with Shingle Safe.CAUTION:
Product must not freeze. It MUST NOT be thinned or diluted.
OVERSPRAY:
The overspray will not harm plants or animals. Spills can be flushed with water rag wetted with bleach and water mix will clean up spotting.
CLEAN UP PROCEDURE:
Airless Equipment:
1. Run clear water through the system until saturant is flushed out. When minor sudsing on surface stops, the system is flushed.
2. Run bleach and water mix (1 part to 4 parts) through the spray system as solvent for cleaning and to remove any residue.
3. Repeat Step 1 if any foaming occurs in Step 2.
4. Lubricate system as specified by equipment manufacturer to combat rusting or corrosion.
If two or more jobs are planned in the same day, the sprayer can be kept clean by running water through the system between jobs.
SAFETY FIRST:
It is a good practice to wear a respirator or mask and protect hands with rubber gloves when spraying any coating or chemical. When engineered air control is not feasible, use properly maintained and properly fitted NIOSH approved respirator for solvent vapors. A dusk mask does not provide protection against vapors.
If eye contact occurs, flood with water for fifteen (15) minutes and call a physician. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DO NOT TAKE INTERNALLY.
