It is suitable for all normal interior wall and ceiling surfaces, including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces (provided they are sound and clean).
No, Armstead Trade Vinyl Silk is specifically designed for indoor use only.
After use, remove as much excess paint as possible from your tools and then clean them thoroughly with water.
The paint is touch dry in 1-2 hours and can be recoated after 2-4 hours, depending on temperature and humidity.
New plaster should be fully dry. Apply a sealing coat of thinned Armstead Trade Vinyl Silk (up to 1 part clean water to 5 parts paint) before applying the normal finishing coats.
Vinyl Silk refers to a mid-sheen finish that is durable, washable, and resistant to scuffing. It has a slight sheen rather than being fully matte or high gloss.
The Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) content is minimal, listed as 1 g/l, falling into the 'Minimal (0 - 0.29%)' labelling system category.
Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, dry, and sound. For absorbent surfaces, a sealing coat may be needed. Check for incompatible previous finishes.
Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply paint evenly, maintaining a wet edge. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure correct application method for the surface.
Verify the surface porosity. Highly absorbent surfaces may require a mist coat. Ensure the paint is applied at the recommended film thickness. Check the coverage rate against the surface type.
Ensure the paint has been fully cured (allow at least 7 days). Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning and avoid abrasive cleaners or pads.
Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are sound, clean, and dry before application. New surfaces must be fully dry. For very absorbent surfaces, apply a sealing coat of thinned Vinyl Silk (up to 1 part water to 5 parts paint). Refer to the Armstead Trade Datasheet AM203 for detailed preparation advice, especially concerning old lead paints.
Application: Stir thoroughly before use. For normal use, thinning is not required. Apply 1-2 full coats. For conventional spray application, dilute with up to 1 part clean water to 4 parts paint. Airless spray application does not require thinning.
Compatibility: Suitable for all normal interior wall and ceiling surfaces.
Tool Cleaning: After use, remove as much paint as possible from brushes, rollers, and spray equipment before cleaning with water.
Storage: Do not use or store in extreme temperatures. Store in a cool, dry place.
