Ronseal Chalky Furniture Paint 750ml - Duck Egg

The product description does not explicitly state the need for a primer, but proper surface preparation (sanding and cleaning) is crucial for adhesion. For bare wood, preparing the surface is detailed. For painted surfaces, sanding is recommended.

The product is designed for furniture, doors, and cupboards, typically made of wood. Compatibility with metal or plastic is not specified and may require separate testing or a specialized primer.

The paint is touch dry in 30 minutes and recoatable in 30 minutes. Full cure, meaning maximum hardness and durability, may take longer and is generally achieved after several days or weeks, depending on environmental conditions.

Use 120 grit sandpaper for bare wood preparation and 240 grit sandpaper for previously painted wood in good condition.

The product is intended for interior use on furniture, doors, and cupboards. Outdoor use is not specified and may lead to reduced durability.

The finish is protected and can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the chalky finish.

The paint covers approximately 16 m² per litre.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared by sanding and cleaning. Check that the temperature is above 10°C and that adequate ventilation is present.

Ensure paint is thoroughly stirred before application. Apply thin, even coats in the direction of the woodgrain. Use a high-quality synthetic brush.

Verify that the ambient temperature is at least 10°C. Low temperatures or high humidity can slow drying times. Ensure adequate ventilation.

This is characteristic of the chalky finish. Ensure the second coat was applied correctly. If it feels excessively powdery, it might indicate insufficient drying time between coats or inadequate stirring of the paint.
