Max Block Water-Based Stain Blocking Primer may be applied by brush, roller, or spray, at a rate of application not to exceed 400 square feet per gallon. Surface texture and porosity
will affect actual yield. For best brush application results, use a quality synthetic filament brush. For roller application use a 3/8” nap cover for smooth surfaces, a 1/2“ nap cover for semi-rough surfaces, and a 3/4” nap cover for rough surfaces. Apply at full strength for maximum stain blocking and sealing properties.
Max Block seals the stain and prevents it from bleeding through into the topcoat. In typical usage, difficult stains may not appear fully covered and sealed by the primer and the first finish coat. The second finish coat should provide complete coverage of the stained area. Two coats of primer may be required on severe stains.
