While it is a durable emulsion, it is not specifically formulated for high-humidity areas. It is best suited for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways.
Generally, two coats provide full opacity and a professional finish, depending on the color of the substrate being covered.
Yes, it is a water-based emulsion, making it easier to clean brushes with warm soapy water.
It is touch-dry within a few hours, but we recommend waiting the full recoat time specified on the tin to ensure optimal performance.
It is recommended to lightly sand the existing oil-based surface and apply an appropriate adhesion primer before using this water-based emulsion.
Ensure you are maintaining a 'wet edge' while painting and do not over-work the paint once it begins to tack up.
Check that the surface was properly cleaned and primed. High-sheen or glossy surfaces may need light sanding before application.
Before application, ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth. Apply the paint using high-quality synthetic brushes or a medium-nap roller for the best texture. Always stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure the pigments are properly distributed. For maintenance, lightly dust the walls with a soft brush or microfibre cloth. If spot-cleaning is required, use a barely damp cloth with a mild detergent, dabbing gently rather than scrubbing to preserve the integrity of the chalky matte surface.
