Floetrol is a latex paint additive that makes interior and exterior latex / acrylic paint flow and level like oil-based paints while compensating for the adverse effects that weather and surface conditions have on paints
and primers.

BASIC USES
• Help paint flow better, eliminating brush and roller marks
• Allow paint to adjust to difficult weather conditions, such as extreme hot and cold temperatures or high humidity
• Extend paint's drying time to create faux finishing effects
• Provide a spray-like finish
• Reduce tip clogging; avoid piston freeze-up when spraying
with a cup gun
• Extend life of the spray gun and spray equipment parts
• Improve spray pattern and assure better coverage
• Minimize “holidays” when rolling or brushing interior wall
• Reduce roller pressure on surface and avoid build-up of paint
on edges of the roller pattern

BRUSHING OR ROLLING
DIRECTIONS:
1. Shake container well.
2. When paint pulls, sets too fast or does not level properly, add Floetrol
until the paint spreads smoothly, easily and provides sufficient
wet-edge time.
3. Always mix a small amount of Floetrol with paint to test compatibility.
4. If compatible, add Floetrol to the latex paint following these guidelines:

WHEN PAINTING WITH A BRUSH OR ROLLER
DIRECTIONS:
1. Add approximately 8 oz. (1/2 pint) per gallon of paint.
2. If pint is thick, or in extreme temperatures, more Floetrol may be gradually added, up to 16 oz. (1 pint) per gallon.
3. Stir Floetrol / paint mixture thoroughly.
4. Paint as usual.

WHEN PAINTING WITH AN AIRLESS SPRAYER
DIRECTIONS:
1. Add up to 32 oz. (1 quart) per gallon of paint.
2. Stir Floetrol / paint mixture thoroughly.
3. Paint as usual.

WHEN PAINTING WITH A CUP GUN SPRAYER
DIRECTIONS:
1. Floetrol acts as a stir-in lubricant.
2. Helps cup guns work with acrylic/latex paints.
3. Mix at least 4, but not more than 8, ounces of Floetrol into each
quart of paint.
4. The amount depends on the consistency and flow properties of the paint.
NOTE: The amount of Floetrol added will not change the color or sheen of flat or semi-gloss latex or acrylic paint. Floetrol may reduce the sheen in gloss paints.

FAUX FINISHING
DIRECTIONS:
1. Using an empty container or dispensable cup as a measuring device, mix 3 volumes of latex (acrylic) paint to 1 volume of Floetrol.
2. The more Floetrol you add to the mixture (glaze) the more open time you will have and the more translucent the finish will be.
3. Do not add too much conditioner for vertical surfaces as technique may sag or vanish.

COVERAGE
• Coverage of Floetrol will vary depending on use

CLEANUP & STORAGE
• Clean tools and equipment with soap and water
