Peel BondTM
XIM Peel BondTM is a unique Water Based, Clear, Very High Building Bonder / Sealer
that can fill and bridge rough surfaces. It is formulated to bond-to and seal a wide range
of construction surfaces. It Bonds paint and will stay flexible over the life of the paint
and, therefore, can help reduce cracking and peeling.

Product Preparation:
XIM’s Peel BondTM is ready to apply directly from the can. Note: Keep the containers
tightly closed when not in use. Store at room temperature. Keep from freezing.
The Surface Condition:
The surface can be rough but it must be a
sound surface for long lasting results.
Peel Bond will not penetrate into old paint.
It will not reseal or re-bond peeling paint,
loose paint, loose or rotted wood, loose or
“punky” masonry. These types of surfaces
require removal of the loose or weak
surface features until the surface is sound.
Careful surface preparation and cleaning is
the key to a good result. Be sure the
surface is thoroughly clean and dry, free
from all grease, wax, oil, loose paint and
dirt or rust. The first step is to clean with a
strong detergent (soap and water), rinse
well and allow to dry. Power washing is
recommended to clean chalky surfaces.

BIG ADVANTAGE
Peel Bond will bond to and fill rough surfaces,
and, therefore, reduce the need to sand and
level the surface before priming.
This alone can reduce the surface preparation
time many fold and save money for the
applicator.

Surface Prep:
Careful surface preparation and cleaning is the key to a good result. Be sure the surface
is thoroughly clean and dry, free from all grease, wax, oil, loose paint and dirt or rust.
Power wash the surface to remove loose paint and debris.
Or . . scrape / sand loose
edges to ensure that the
surface is sound.
NOTE: Remove the remaining debris and dust from sanding and scraping. Allow to dry
after power washing. Measure with a Moisture Meter – wait until the moisture is below
15% to prime with Peel Bond. This way, the Peel Bond can penetrate the dry wood fiber.
Power Wash
all loose
paint and debris.

If your objective is to only prime and seal the surface, apply one full coat. If your
objective is to build and fill, apply multiple full coats. Allow the Peel Bond to turn clear
before each coat.
It can be top coated within 40 minutes with Latex Paints.

How to Apply :
Peel Bond can be applied by spray, brushing
or rolling. NOTE: It does not look or feel like
traditional “thinner viscosity” paints.
When Brushing or rolling, apply straight from the
container. Peel Bond can be applied heavily. It will
build and fill low areas. Even though High-Build, it
will still wet-out the surface and flow well.
Peel Bond appears white and hazy
initially. It dries to tack free in
about 30 minutes under standard
conditions (77 deg. F and 50%
relative humidity) Thicker coats
will take longer to dry.
Peel Bond will dry to a clear
appearance. When clear, it is ready
to re-coat or paint.

When Spraying:
Spray with airless equipment without thinning.
We recommend a 0.017 tip and 1200 PSI.
Use as a Penetrating Sealer -
Apply at 5-10 mils wet. Peel Bond will appear
hazy, white when first applied. It will penetrate
into the wood or into a porous surface and bond.
Use as a High Build Filling primer –
Apply as high as 20 mils wet. Spray multiple
coats as required. Allow the Peel Bond to turn
clear before each coat. As shown previously,
the cooler the temperature – the longer this
will take.
Do Not Spray or
apply heavier than
20 mils wet !
Although Peel Bond can be applied heavier than 20 mils
wet, excess thickness can result in MUD CRACKING
and BUBBLES in the film.
Too thick and you could see sagging as well!
Back-Brushing or Back-Rolling after spraying
heavy coats can help “work” the Peel Bond into
recessed and low areas.

Clean-Up: Clean equipment with soap and water.
