Surface Preparation Instructions Before you start, ensure that all surfaces are clean, dry, and in sound condition. Here's how: Clean: Wash the area thoroughly with detergent and water to remove dust, dirt, grime, and other contaminants. Dry: Rinse well and allow the surface to dry completely. Remove Old Coatings: Sand and/or scrape away any poorly adhering existing coatings. Replace Loose Caulk: Remove any loose, dried caulk and replace it where necessary. Application Instructions Achieving a perfect repair is easy with Ready Patch. Follow these steps: Ideal Conditions: Apply when air and surface temperatures are between 50-90°F (10-32°C) and relative humidity is below 95%. Higher temperatures and lower humidity will speed up the drying process, while lower temperatures and higher humidity will slow it down. Tools: Use a clean putty or spackling knife. A 1” knife is ideal for nail holes and cracks, while a 2” knife works best for larger gouges. Application: Spread Ready Patch over the hole or imperfection. Remove excess product until smooth and flush with the surface. Apply as many coats as necessary to fill the area level with the surrounding surface. For holes wider and deeper than ¼”, two or more applications are recommended. Drying and Finishing Drying Time: Ready Patch Lite can be primed or painted when dry to the touch. For best results, wait until the product has fully dried before sanding smooth. Finishing: Sand the patched areas until smooth. Prime the patched areas before painting to prevent excessive absorption of paint. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 1. Can I use Ready Patch on exterior surfaces?
