Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Preparation is Key: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, dirt, grease, or loose flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth.
- Prime if Necessary: For bare wood or significantly contrasting colours, apply a suitable primer to ensure optimal adhesion and finish.
- Stir Thoroughly: Before and during use, stir the paint well to ensure an even colour and consistency.
- Protect Surroundings: Cover floors, furniture, and light fixtures with dust sheets or masking tape to prevent accidental splatters.
Compatibility
This paint is suitable for interior walls, ceilings, and wooden surfaces. It is not recommended for exterior use or high-traffic areas requiring highly scrubbable surfaces (e.g., kitchens, bathrooms without proper ventilation).
Care
- Application: Apply with a brush or roller for best results. For rollers, use a medium pile roller for walls and ceilings, and a finer foam roller for smoother wooden surfaces.
- Drying Time: Allow adequate drying time between coats (refer to product label for specific times). Typically, flat matt paints dry within 2-4 hours, with recoating possible after 4-6 hours.
- Cleaning Tools: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water.
- Storage: Store paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out.
