Fast Dry Blockout White blocks out the old bulletin or pictorial and primes the surface so that new signs or artwork will adhere and cover properly.

VINYL COTE 
Vinyl Cote is a durable, water-based, acrylic clear coating formulated for use as a primer and topcoat for untreated vinyl and painted vinyl signs, banners, awnings and bulletins. It dries to a flexible, weather resistant finish and exhibits excellent adhesion to treated and untreated vinyl and many other substrates. When applied as a primer on untreated vinyl it prevents plasticizer migration and the adhesion and drying problems caused by migration. It prepares the vinyl for top coating with Bulletin Colors and other oil and water based paints. Vinyl Cote  is also formulated for use as a topcoat over conventional oil and water based finishes and on a variety of different substrates (wood, glass, plastic and many synthetics). Cures to a clear, non-yellowing, flat finish and therefore can be used directly on pictures, murals, portraits and vinyl graphics without altering the colors.
