The Benefit is in the Name

Sherwin-Williams PrepRite® Easy Sand Makes Sanding Fast, Simple and Sure

(LAS VEGAS – January 19, 2004) – Designed especially for interior residential wood trim and surfaces that must be sanded before topcoating,  PrepRite® Easy Sand, from Sherwin-Williams, lets contractors prime, sand and finish in as little as a day – saving time and labor costs.

The product’s quick-dry formula minimizes the likelihood of dust or grit pick up, keeping the job progress moving forward. Unlike other primers – which can either require labor-intensive sanding to achieve a smooth finish, or expose bare wood upon sanding because they lack film thickness, PrepRite Easy Sand is designed to powder up with minimal effort.  After sanding, the product leaves a smooth, well-sealed surface that’s ready for topcoating.  What’s more, PrepRite Easy Sand is compatible with a wide variety of topcoats, so meeting specifications is rarely an issue.

While the product is designed to be spray applied, it can also be brushed or rolled on. And because PrepRite Easy Sand delivers excellent adhesion to a wide variety of substrates, overspray on adjacent drywall or masonry won’t be a problem. Finish coats may be applied to those surfaces without impacting performance.

For over 135 years, Sherwin-Williams has satisfied the coating and color needs of painting contractors, designers, specifiers, property managers and builders.  Sherwin-Williams provides fast, flexible, responsive local service and personalized, expert advice.  More than 2,600 stores and 1,400 sales representatives make Sherwin-Williams North America’s largest single-source supplier of high-quality paints, stains, masonry coatings and brand-name wall and floor coverings.  Visit Sherwin-Williams on the World Wide Web at www.sherwin-williams.com.
