How to Use RepelX Paint Additive

Step-by-step directions for mixing RepelX into interior latex or acrylic paint.

Use 1 fl oz of RepelX per 1 US gallon of interior latex or acrylic paint. Add it to the paint, stir for about 2 minutes, and apply the paint normally.

Step 1: measure

Use the built-in measuring chamber to measure 1 fl oz for each gallon of compatible paint.

Step 2: add

Pour the measured RepelX into the paint can or mixing container. Keep the container away from heat, sparks, open flame, and smoking materials while handling the concentrate.

Step 3: stir

Stir thoroughly for about 2 minutes so the additive is evenly dispersed throughout the paint.

Step 4: paint

Apply with your normal brush, roller, or sprayer method. Follow the paint manufacturer instructions for surface prep, application, drying time, and cleanup.
