Strictly adhere to the 4-week full curing period. Avoid touching, cleaning, or placing items against the painted surface during this time.
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose material. Sand smooth surfaces lightly and prime with Tikkurila Helmi Primer for optimal adhesion and finish.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a brush, roller, or sprayer. For best results, apply thin, even coats. Allow recoating times of 2-4 hours between coats. Two or more coats are recommended for optimal coverage and durability.
