Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure ambient temperatures are between 8°C and 25°C. For surface preparation, remove dirt and grease with a diluted detergent, rinse, and let dry completely. Use a wire brush to eliminate loose rust or flaking paint. If you are working on specialized metals like zinc, aluminium, or galvanised surfaces, you must apply a specific primer before using Hammerite.
Avoid vigorous stirring; a light stir is sufficient. After painting, use `Hammerite Brush Cleaner & Thinners` to clean your tools thoroughly, as standard water will not be effective. Always store the container in a cool place, away from extreme temperatures and ignition sources.
