wax, grease, oil, chalk, mildew and loose or peeling 
paint. For best adhesion, glossy surfaces should be 
lightly sanded. Nail holes, cracks or other surface 
imperfections should be properly filled, sanded 
smooth and dusted clean. Glossy surfaces must be 
sanded or deglossed and wiped clean. All bare areas
must be primed. All mold, mildew, and fungi must be 
completely and thoroughly removed and cleaned by 
using Betanix® 100.1 before painting. Always wear a
dust mask when sanding.
