Crown® Oil Bond

Product Description:

Oil Bond is a truly unique water based, low VOC product. Oil Bond paint additive is designed and formulated to work in all latex paint. Oil Bond is first wiped on oil or water-based paint, varnish, lacquer, polyurethane, or even powder-coated items with a clean, lint-free rag. Oil Bond paint contains cleaning surfactants, deglossing agents, and priming, one-part, self-crosslinking resins. The product will then clean, degloss, and pre-prime painted surfaces, most clear coat surfaces (not laminates or plastics), and most powder coated surfaces (not automotive, clear coat finishes).

  • Paint latex over previously painted oil or polyurethane surfaces without sanding or priming.
  • Great for use on cabinets, trim, furniture, and doors.

Directions for Use:

  1. Shake well for at least 30 seconds
  2. Pretreat: Pretreating the surface with the Oil Bond latex paint additive will effectively clean, degloss, and assist adhesion of the latex paint to the project surface:
    1. Apply the Oil Bond product to a clean, lint-free cotton rag and wipe the surface with a moderate amount of product. Regularly reapply the product onto fresh, clean areas of the rag during the process to ensure that the surface is properly prepared, and change rags as dirt is absorbed onto the rag. Appropriate gloves are recommended. Any further cleaning of the surface before or after application is not necessary.
    2. After pretreating, allow the surface to dry for one hour.
  3. Add to latex paint:
    1. Begin by adding 16 oz. of the Oil Bond latex paint additive to one gallon of latex paint. Stir well.
    2. Apply the latex paint with Oil Bond additive to project surface using brush, roller or spray in the first coat of paint. Additional coats do not require the Oil Bond additive.
    3. Allow to dry as directed by the latex paint instructions. Full cure of the paint may take a day or two, depending on the conditions (temperature, humidity, etc.) The coating will be the toughest after 2–3 days and should completely harden within about one week.

NOTE: If the color from project surface begins to transfer onto the rag or the finish begins to loosen from the surface during pretreatment, then pretreating with a scouring pad is necessary (using a multipurpose primer may be used to avoid bleeding). If a smooth surface is not achieved after pretreating, the surface will need to be sanded and primed.

NOTE: For use in spray equipment – Add the Latex paint with Oil Bond additive as directed and dilute as necessary with extra water to meet the viscosity requirement for your spray equipment per the manufacturer’s directions. It is the user’s responsibility to determine whether this product suits the purpose of the user’s application.
