FAQs

Can I use Lemon Salts No.43 on walls?

This variant is specifically formulated for woodwork, trim, and metal surfaces. For walls, consider the Mylands Marble Matt Emulsion range.

Is this paint durable enough for high-traffic doors?

Yes, this paint is designed to be scuff-resistant and durable, making it well-suited for doors and high-traffic trim.

Does it require a primer?

While it depends on the surface condition, priming is always recommended for raw wood or metal to ensure the best finish and longevity.

How long does it take to dry?

The formula is quick-drying, but specific recoat times can be found on the product packaging; typically, you should wait for the first coat to be touch-dry before proceeding.

Can I clean this paint with soap and water?

Yes, once fully cured, the surface is washable using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.

What is the finish sheen level?

This is an eggshell finish, which offers a soft, low-sheen luster that is less reflective than gloss but more durable than flat matt paint.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering to metal surfaces

Ensure the metal was properly cleaned and a dedicated metal primer was used prior to application.

Finish looks patchy or uneven

Ensure the surface was sanded and primed correctly. Apply a second coat once the first is fully dry.

Color appears different than expected

Lemon Salts No.43 contains subtle green undertones; test a small area in different natural light conditions throughout the day to see how the color interacts with your environment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to scuffs and daily wear
  • Versatile application on metal and wood
  • Provides a smooth, professional-grade finish
  • Easy to maintain and wash

Cons

  • Specific to interior applications only
  • Subtle color shifts require testing in your specific lighting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over previously glossed wood, it is recommended to lightly sand the surface to provide 'tooth' for the new layer. For metal surfaces, ensure any rust is treated and a suitable metal primer is applied first.

Use a high-quality brush or roller designed for eggshell paints to maintain the smooth texture. Cleanup is straightforward; follow the instructions on the paint tin regarding solvent or water-based cleanup depending on the specific batch requirements. Once cured, the finish can be cleaned using a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive household cleaner.
