Pros

  • Environmentally friendly plant-based ingredients
  • Sophisticated off-white shade with unique undertones
  • Highly durable and washable satin finish
  • Quick-drying properties for faster project turnover
  • Suitable for various substrates including metal and wood

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If the surface is previously painted, lightly sand it to improve adhesion, especially given the satin finish's tendency to reveal texture. Use high-quality brushes or rollers suited for water-based paints to achieve the best results. For care, simply wipe down the cured finish with a damp, non-abrasive cloth. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use and store it in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the water-based formula.
