Directions for Use:

• Mix 1 measured unit/pouch of Insuladd (13 dry ounces) per 1 gallon of paint
  • Volume will increase by 20%: when mixed 1 gallon = 1.2 gallons
• Mixing recommendation:
  • 1 gal paint -use at least a 2 gal bucket & add 1 unit of Insuladd Additive
  • 5 gal paint- pour 2-½ gal paint into a 5 gal bucket & add 2½ units of Insuladd Additive
• Paint containing Insuladd can be applied with a brush, roller, or sprayer
  • When using a sprayer the recommended tip size is .617-.621
  • The small cartridge filter for the sprayer must be removed to avoid filtering out the additive
    • If needed to thin for flow, add ½ to 1 cup of water per 1 gallon of paint
      • NOTE: if paint is not water based, follow thinning instructions on paint
• Add the Insuladd Additive gradually to your paint while stirring to avoid clumping of the ceramic microspheres in the additive.
• Always stir your paint for a minute or two prior to commencing painting if the paint has been sitting for more then 2 hours since last used.
• The optimal application for energy savings is two coats of paint containing additive

--- Always Mix Insuladd Additive into the paint in a Larger Container than the Paint Came in
--- Insuladd Additive will add slight texture, and may slightly affect the hue of DARKER colors

• Insuladd Additive will leave a very mild dusty-feeling texture to the surface to which it has been applied, but will not visually affect most wall surfaces.
• Insuladd Additive may appear to lighten darker colors one hue.
• The additive will flatten the finish of the paint one degree
  • For special finishes apply the coats with the additive under the finish coat
• Insuladd additive is inert, and will not affect the chemical properties of the paint in any way.
