FAQs

Can I use this paint on exterior surfaces?

No, this product is specifically formulated for interior woodwork and floor surfaces.

Is Lemon Salts No.43 a yellow or a green paint?

It is primarily a pale, citrus yellow with a subtle green undertone that provides a soft, delicate look.

Do I need to use a primer?

While it can often be applied directly, using a suitable primer is recommended on bare or porous surfaces to ensure an even finish.

How should I clean my brushes after use?

Since this is a water-based formula, you can clean brushes and tools with warm, soapy water immediately after use.

Is the finish truly washable?

Yes, once the paint has fully cured, the satin surface is durable enough to be wiped down with a damp cloth.

How long does it take to dry?

While drying times vary based on ambient conditions, the water-based formula is designed for quick-drying performance.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering to the surface

Ensure the surface was sanded and cleaned thoroughly to remove any oils or dust before painting.

Finish appears uneven or streaky

Avoid over-brushing the paint. Apply smooth, long strokes and allow the paint to self-level during the drying process.

Slow drying time

Ensure the room is well-ventilated and the temperature is within the recommended range (typically above 10°C). High humidity will significantly increase drying time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or loose debris before application. If applying to previously painted surfaces, lightly sand the area to provide a "key" for better adhesion.

  • Care: Once fully cured, the surface can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that may degrade the satin sheen over time.
