Application Tips

  1. This product was made mainly for oil based paints, although very satisfactory results can be obtained with water based paints as well. For oil based paints, simply scuff the area to be painted. Roll or brush the open areas of the masking. Remove the GYMARX before the paint has fully dried. (If not it may adhere to the masking and pull from the floor in small areas).

    With water based paints, scuff the area to be painted and apply a very light coat (almost dry). Let dry, and then apply another coat. The first light coat seals the edges of the masking and reduces bleeds, which occur much more often with water based paints.

  2. A two-colored letter job, such as a shadow or outline, can be done with a single mask if a void is left between the two. More care must be taken when painting, but GYMARX costs are reduced in half.

  3. Try using a 3" or 4" foam roller to any area large enough, then with a wet brush go over what was just rolled to let the paint lay down as smooth if it were sprayed.

  4. When dealing with a color that covers poorly, try using a blockout white primer first. It dries fast enough to be top coated within an hour (in most cases) and will not bond to the masking when removed.

  5. Make sure a sealer, a topcoat of finish, or paint is applied to floor before using GYMARX. Bare wood will bleed.
