What happens here

The reviewer discusses the pricing of Benjamin Moore Arborcoat, noting that it falls within a range of approximately $39 to $59 per gallon, depending on the specific product (semi-solid or solid). He emphasizes that while it might seem expensive compared to some alternatives, it's a premium product with proven performance, aligning with the 'you get what you pay for' philosophy in the paint industry. He highlights the importance of always consulting the Technical Data Sheet (TDS) for any paint product. The TDS provides crucial information on product features, general descriptions, limitations, technical data, coverage rates (e.g., 300-400 square feet per gallon for Arborcoat), dry times (e.g., half-hour to touch, 4 hours to recoat), and cleanup instructions (e.g., clean water for waterborne products). It also specifies application temperatures (e.g., do not apply below 40 degrees F or above 90 degrees F). Understanding the TDS is vital for proper application and achieving the best results.

Goal: Provide pricing information for Arborcoat and emphasize the critical role of the Technical Data Sheet for successful application.
