Setup, Compatibility & Care
Surface Preparation:
Ensure all surfaces to be painted are sound, clean, and completely dry before application. New plaster should be fully dry. For very absorbent surfaces, apply a sealing coat of thinned Armstead Trade Vinyl Soft Sheen (up to 1 part clean water to 5 parts paint). For detailed guidance, consult the Armstead Trade Datasheet AM225.
Application:
Stir the paint thoroughly before use. This vinyl emulsion does not require thinning for normal use. Apply using a brush, roller, or spray. For sealing new/bare surfaces, thin up to 1 part clean water to 20 parts paint. For conventional spray application, thin up to 1 part clean water to 4 parts paint. Airless spray application does not require thinning.
Drying Times:
Touch dry in 1-2 hours. Recoat in 2-4 hours. Drying times are dependent on ambient temperature and humidity.
Coverage:
Up to 14 m²/L on smooth surfaces of average porosity.
Tool Cleaning:
After use, remove as much paint as possible from application tools before cleaning them with water.
Storage:
Do not use or store the paint in extreme temperatures. Ensure containers are tightly closed when not in use. Dispose of leftover paint responsibly; consider donating it to Community RePaint if available.
