FAQs
What surfaces can this paint be used on?
This paint is suitable for concrete, cement screed, stone, and previously painted floors. It's ideal for garages, workshops, industrial areas, basements, and patios.
How many coats are recommended?
Typically, two thin, even coats are recommended for optimal durability and finish. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per the product's instructions.
What is the drying time?
Drying times can vary based on temperature, humidity, and film thickness. Generally, it is touch-dry within a few hours, but a full cure for heavy traffic may take up to 7 days. Always refer to the product's specific instructions.
Do I need to prime the surface?
Priming is recommended for porous surfaces like new concrete or cement screed to ensure superior adhesion and a uniform finish. For previously painted surfaces, ensure they are sound and lightly abraded.
How do I clean up tools after use?
Tools should be cleaned immediately after use with a suitable solvent thinner. Dried paint will be difficult to remove.
Is this paint suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, it can be used on outdoor concrete surfaces like patios, providing a durable and protective coating.
What ventilation is required?
As this is a solvent-based paint, good ventilation is essential during application and drying to ensure safety and proper curing. Open windows and doors, or use fans.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and degreased before application. Check for appropriate surface preparation, such as light abrasion or priming if necessary. Ensure the surface was completely dry.
Uneven or streaky finish
Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application. Apply in thin, even coats using a suitable roller or brush. Ensure consistent application technique.
Slow drying or remains tacky
Ensure application in the recommended temperature range and humidity levels. Avoid applying excessively thick coats. Ensure adequate ventilation to aid drying.
Bubbling during application
This can occur if applied too thickly or over a damp surface. Ensure the surface is completely dry and apply in thinner coats. Improve ventilation.
