Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Surface Preparation:
Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose paint. For previously painted surfaces, abrade lightly if glossy. Any chalking or powdery surfaces should be brushed clean and treated with a suitable masonry primer or sealer. For new or bare surfaces like brickwork, render, cement, or concrete, ensure they are sound and weathered. Remove any algae, mould, or moss with a suitable cleaner and allow the surface to dry thoroughly.
Application:
Stir the paint well before use. Apply using a good quality brush, medium pile roller, or spray. Apply in thin, even coats. Two coats are generally recommended for best results. Allow adequate drying time between coats (typically 2-4 hours, depending on conditions). Avoid applying in very cold (below 10°C) or wet conditions, or when strong winds are present.
Coverage:
Approximately 9-11 square meters per litre per coat when applied by brush or roller. Coverage will vary depending on the surface texture and porosity.
Compatibility:
Suitable for exterior masonry, roughcast, pebble-dash, brickwork, cement, and concrete rendered surfaces. Can be applied to previously painted surfaces after appropriate preparation. Check compatibility with specific substrates if unsure.
Care:
Clean application tools immediately after use with water. For maintenance, clean the painted surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
