PRODUCT BULLETIN FOR EXTRA-BOND
(Concentrated Water-based Polymer Emulsion)
Our EXTRA-BOND is a water-based polymer emulsion. When added to Milk Paint it gives the paint greater adhesion to non-porous or previously finished surfaces. As an adjunct to Milk Paint, it is used by custom furniture builders, interior designers, craftsmen, and do-it-yourselfers on difficult surfaces. It is environmentally safe and non-toxic, hypo-allergenic, low odor and voc-free.
APPLICATIONS
EXTRA-BOND is mixed with Milk Paint before painting on surfaces such as glass, baked enamel, primed metal, oil or latex painted surfaces, varnished, shellacked or polyurethaned surfaces.

APPLICATION TECHNIQUES
Please Note: Two rules should always be followed in the application of MILK PAINT with Extra-Bond, or of any other finish for that matter:
| 1} | Make sure the surface is perfectly clean. |
| 2} | First test the Milk Paint with Extra-Bond added on a scrap piece of the same surface material. |
| 1} | Thoroughly clean the surface to be painted. Use a cleaner that does not leave a soapy or oily residue such as TSP. Hard shiny surfaces should be dulled somewhat with Scotchbrite, sand-paper or steel wool. |
| 2} | Mix your milk paint according to package directions. Then, add your Extra Bond directly to your mixed milk paint. Mix together. You may use as little as one part EXTRA-BOND to two parts Milk Paint, but better adhesion may be achieved using equal parts. |
| 3} | If a second coat of Milk Paint is desired allow two hours between coats. EXTRA-BOND is not necessary and not recommended in the second coat. |
| 4} | Clean up with water. EXTRA-BOND should be stored at room temperature with the lid on tight. |
Important: Do not allow to freeze
