Troubleshooting

Paint not covering evenly

Ensure the surface is properly prepared and dry. Apply a mist coat if the surface is very absorbent. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply thin, even coats.

Brush marks or roller texture visible

Apply paint with even strokes. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure you are using the correct tools for the paint type and surface. Work to a wet edge to avoid lap marks.

Paint is too thick to apply

Stir thoroughly. If necessary for specific application methods like spraying, thin according to the dilution notes. Do not over-thin for standard brush or roller application.

Slow drying time

Ensure application in a well-ventilated area and at a suitable temperature (avoiding extremes). Humidity can significantly slow drying; allow extra time if necessary.

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.
