Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results with Marble Arch No.82, preparation is vital. Begin by ensuring the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over previously painted wood, lightly sand the surface to provide 'tooth' for the paint.
- Priming: Always apply a suitable primer to seal the surface and improve paint adhesion.
- Application: Use high-quality synthetic brushes or rollers designed for eggshell paints to maintain a smooth flow.
- Drying: Allow adequate drying time between coats, following the instructions on the tin to ensure full curing.
- Care: Once fully cured, clean surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners which can dull the eggshell finish.
