Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Prepare the Area: Clear furniture, lay down dust sheets, and tape off edges and fixtures using painter's tape.
- Surface Preparation: For optimal adhesion and finish, ensure all surfaces (walls and wood) are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose material. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. For previously painted surfaces, a light sanding will help with adhesion. A primer may be beneficial on new, porous, or significantly darker surfaces.
- Open and Stir: Carefully open the 2.5L tin. Use a stirring stick to thoroughly mix the paint until it has a uniform colour and consistency. Stir occasionally during painting.
Compatibility
This Crown Crafted paint is specifically formulated for interior walls and wood. It is not recommended for exterior use or surfaces that will be exposed to constant moisture or heavy scrubbing, such as shower areas or kitchen backsplashes.
Care
- Cleaning Painted Surfaces: The flat matt finish is delicate. To clean, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh rubbing or abrasive cleaners, as these can burnish the surface, leading to shiny spots.
- Storage: Store any unused paint in its original container, tightly sealed, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the lid is properly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out.
- Tool Clean-up: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water.
