Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering to the surface

Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Re-prepare the surface and re-apply, ensuring any necessary primers are used.

Uneven finish or roller marks

Ensure paint is thoroughly stirred before application. Apply using a consistent rolling technique, maintaining a 'wet edge' to avoid marks. Do not overwork the paint.

Paint not drying properly

Check ambient temperature and humidity levels; painting in very cold or damp conditions can affect drying times. Ensure adequate ventilation. Check if the surface has been contaminated or if an incompatible primer was used.

Surface remains slippery

Ensure sufficient coats were applied and that the anti-slip aggregate within the paint has not been compromised by excessive thinning or improper application. Consider an additional coat if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Surface Preparation:

Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, dust, and other contaminants. For concrete, stone, and brickwork, ensure it is sound and porous. For previously painted surfaces, ensure the existing paint is sound and well-adhered; lightly abrade if necessary. For metal, ensure it is free from rust and primed with a suitable metal primer if required.

Timber Surfaces:

Advice should be sought for coating new timber or pressure preservative treated timber. Ensure existing timber is sound, dry, and free from treatments that could affect adhesion. Light sanding may be beneficial.

Application:

Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a roller for best results; an extension pole can be attached for easier application on larger areas or floors. A brush can be used for edges and smaller areas. Apply in dry conditions, ideally between 10°C and 25°C.

  • First Coat: Apply evenly.
  • Drying: Allow to touch dry (1-2 hours).
  • Recoat: Apply a second coat after a minimum of 6 hours.

Drying and Curing:

While the paint is touch dry in 1-2 hours and ready for recoat in 6 hours, it achieves full hardness after 5-7 days. During this curing period, avoid heavy traffic or subject the surface to excessive wear and tear.

Care:

Clean spills and tools immediately with water. Once dry, the painted surface can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh solvents.
