Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results with Dead Flat, ensure the target surface is clean, dry, and free of debris. For new surfaces, use an appropriate Farrow & Ball primer to ensure optimal adhesion. When applying, use high-quality brushes or rollers to avoid streaking. As an alkyd-based product, ensure proper ventilation in the room during and after application. Once cured, the finish is robust; however, avoid using abrasive cleaning pads or harsh chemicals, as a soft cloth with mild soap is sufficient for routine cleaning of scuff marks.
