Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of stains does Johnstone's StainAway Brilliant White cover?

It is designed to cover common household stains such as water marks, grease, pen marks, and general grime.

Can I use this paint on wood or metal?

This product is primarily formulated for interior walls and ceilings. For wood or metal, specific primers and topcoats designed for those materials would be more appropriate.

How many coats should I apply?

For most stains, one or two coats should suffice. For particularly difficult or deep stains, a primer followed by two coats of the Brilliant White paint is recommended.

Is this paint washable?

While it provides a durable finish, it is a household stain product. For regular cleaning, a damp cloth should be used gently. It is not typically rated for heavy scrubbing like a scrubbable finish paint.

What is the drying time?

Drying times can vary based on conditions, but typically it is touch dry within 1-2 hours and recoatable after 2-4 hours. Always refer to the specific product label for precise drying information.

Does this paint have a strong odor?

Johnstone's Trade products are generally formulated for low odor, but some scent is normal during application and drying. Ensure good ventilation during use.

What is the sheen level of this paint?

This product is described as 'Brilliant White', which typically indicates a matt or very low sheen finish, common for household emulsions.

Troubleshooting

Paint not covering stains effectively

Ensure the surface is properly prepared and dry. Apply a second coat if necessary. For very stubborn stains, consider using a specific stain-blocking primer before applying the Brilliant White.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application. Apply using even, consistent strokes. Ensure you are using a quality brush or roller suitable for emulsion paint.

Paint is too thick or too thin

Stir the paint well. If it appears too thick, a small amount of clean water can be added (follow manufacturer guidelines for dilution). If too thin, ensure the lid was sealed properly during storage and stir thoroughly.

Drying time seems excessively long

Ensure application is within recommended temperature and humidity levels. Avoid applying in very cold or damp conditions. Check that you are not applying the paint too thickly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Surface Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose paint. For best results on problematic stains, a primer may be beneficial.

Application: Apply using a good quality brush or roller. Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply evenly, working in one direction. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per manufacturer recommendations.

Compatibility: Suitable for use on most interior walls and ceilings. It is a household stain product, not typically recommended for high-traffic exterior surfaces or areas subject to constant moisture without appropriate sealing.

Care: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with water. Store the paint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to maintain product quality.
