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.
