	COMPRESSED AIR TANK SPRAYER (with solvent resistant fittings) The sprayer can be used on vertical or horizontal surfaces, it is important to backroll excess material that has not penetrated. Always be sure that the sprayer is clean and free from chemical or insecticide residue. Clean equipment with mineral spirits or paint thinner immediately after use of Lifetime™.
	AIRLESS SPRAYER Lifetime™ can be used with an airless sprayer if care is taken to use the equipment properly. To insure proper application apply Lifetime™ with a 421 Contractor Spray Tip, not to exceed 500 psi. The nozzle should remain 6-12 inches from the surface and move in straight even strokes. Clean equipment with mineral spirits or paint thinner immediately after use of Lifetime™.
	BRUSH, ROLLER, PAINT PAD Lifetime™ can be applied with a brush, roller or paint pad. 1. Brush may be either natural or foam. 2. Roller can be foam, where dark lines are created by the ends of the roller, backroll them immediately. 3. Paint Pad: apply in a straight line and overlap with each stroke. Clean equipment with mineral spirits or paint thinner immediately after use of Lifetime™.
	DIPPING Shingles, shakes or wood siding can be dipped prior to installation. This is an effective way of applying Lifetime™. It assures complete coverage and thorough saturation of the front, back and ends grains of the wood. You should wipe off all excess material.
