This water-based paint offers a matt finish and has virtually no odour. It can be used directly onto Wood (bare or painted), brick, stone, plaster or any suitably primed rigid surface like metal or plastic.

Apply with a brush or roller, following the grain of the wood if using a brush. For rolling, use a short nap mohair roller.

Drying Time: Touch dry in 1 hour, handleable after 2 hours, second coat possible after 2 hours if needed, and full hardness achieved in 3 hours. Clean Up: Use water. Avoid emptying into drains or water courses.
