Sheetrock® Brand Tuff Hide™ Primer Surfacer

USG Sheetrock® Brand Tuff Hide™ Primer-Surfacer is a dual-purpose latex-based coating designed especially for interior application over new drywall. For level 5 drywall finish, a single spray application provides the same highest quality drywall finish as the traditional two-step process of skim coating surfaces with joint compound, followed by a coat of primer. Tuff Hide primer surfacer dries white; when a flat white finish is preferred for noncontact surfaces such as ceiling applications Tuff Hide can be left unpainted to produce a smooth finished surface.

Dries to touch in approximately 60-90 minutes when applied at 15-20 mils WFT (9-12 mils DFT) under normal drying conditions (15C°,50% RH). Let dry before recoating. The following (together or individually) will slow drying and/or greatly impact the finished appearance: high humidity, cold temperature and poor ventilation/air circulation.

Approximately 2.5-3 m2 per 1 L when applied at 15-20 mils WFT (9-12 mils DFT). Actual coverage can vary depending on factors such as substrate surface condition, spray techniques, procedures, coating uniformity and thickness.

Sheetrock® Brand Tuff Hide™ Primer Surfacer application

Airless spray application only. Use professional equipment that meets or exceeds the following rating when spraying through 15m of 6mm I.D. high-pressure hose: output at least 3.8 Liter per minute; pump pressure rated at 2,700-3,000 psi; and accommodates a 0.8mm spray tip at 2,000 psi (Graco Mark V™ or equivalent). Use a 30-mesh filter located in the high-pressure manifold. Use a spray-tip orifice between 0.6 to 0.8mm. It is recommended to use a Graco heavy-duty texture spray gun or equivalent that accommodates a Graco Reverse-A-Clean (RAC) SwitchTip.

 

Test the spray pattern prior to application. To apply, hold spray gun perpendicular to the surface approximately 45cm away. Move the gun parallel to the surface at a steady rate. Overlap preceding application by 1/2 of the fan width for uniform paint thickness. Spray from left to right to scratch in the initial coat at approximately half of the desired thickness. Then crosshatch spray up and down as the double-up coat to the desired thickness. When painting corners, aim the gun toward the center of the corner to ensure both sides are sprayed evenly. When used in lieu of a skim coat of joint compound and paint primer coat in a Level 5 gypsum board finish, apply to a minimum Wet Film Thickness (WFT) of 0.4mm. In all applications, a wet film thickness in excess of 0.5mm is not recommended. During and after application, avoid drafts and maintain 15°C minimum product, air and surface temperatures until surface is dry.
