FAQs

How long does it take for the paint to fully cure?

The paint achieves full hardness after 5-7 days. While touch dry in 1 hour and hard dry in 2 hours, avoid heavy foot traffic or placing heavy objects on the surface until fully cured.

Can this paint be used on metal surfaces?

Yes, it can be applied to suitably prepared metal surfaces. Ensure the metal is clean, dry, and free from rust or existing flaking paint.

What is the coverage rate of the paint?

The estimated coverage is between 5 to 9 square meters per litre, depending on the surface porosity and application method.

How should I clean my tools after using the paint?

Clean brushes, rollers, and any spills immediately after use with water.

Is this paint suitable for areas with constant water exposure?

While it offers low risk in wet conditions, for areas of constant water immersion, consult product specifications or a specialist for suitability.

Can I apply this over existing paint?

Yes, provided the existing paint is sound, clean, and well-adhered. Lightly abrading the surface can improve adhesion.

What is the recommended number of coats?

Typically, one to two coats are recommended. Apply a second coat after 6 hours if needed for better coverage or durability, ensuring the first coat is touch dry.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and prepared before application. If applying to a non-porous surface, it may need light abrasion. Check for any contaminants like oil or grease.

Uneven finish or streaks

Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application. Apply evenly with a roller or brush, avoiding overworking in one area. Ensure consistent application thickness.

Paint is taking too long to dry

Drying times can be affected by temperature and humidity. Ensure application is within recommended conditions (typically above 10°C and low humidity). Avoid applying thick coats.

Loss of anti-slip properties over time

Ensure the surface is cleaned regularly without harsh chemicals that could degrade the finish. Heavy abrasion could also reduce the anti-slip effect.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or any loose material. For new timber, allow it to weather and for pressure-treated timber, seek specific advice. For existing painted or treated surfaces, ensure they are sound and properly prepared. Lightly abrade non-porous surfaces to improve adhesion.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a roller or brush, working in manageable sections. For large areas, an extension pole can facilitate application. A second coat can be applied after 6 hours, once the first coat is touch dry.

Compatibility: Suitable for concrete, wood, tarmac, stone, brickwork, and suitably prepared metal. Advice should be sought for coating new timber or pressure preservative treated timber.

Care: Clean tools and spills immediately with water. Once cured, the painted surface can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
