Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Preparation is key for optimal performance.
- Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and any loose material.
- Priming:
- For bare wood, use Johnstone's Trade Aqua Guard Primer Undercoat.
- For other bare surfaces (like plaster or previously painted surfaces requiring a primer), use Johnstone's Trade Advanced Multi-Surface Primer.
- For previously painted, sound surfaces, you can often apply the gloss directly after a light sanding and cleaning.
- Application:
- Apply two coats using a quality brush, spray, or roller.
- Ensure adequate ventilation during application and drying.
- Stir the paint thoroughly before use.
- Drying: Allow 1-2 hours for the paint to become touch dry. Ensure a minimum of 4-6 hours between coats.
Compatibility: This paint is designed for interior wood and metal surfaces. It is a water-based system and should not be mixed with solvent-based products.
Care: Clean application tools with water immediately after use. For maintenance of painted surfaces, wipe gently with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
