Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Surface Preparation: For best results and to ensure the 6-year protection, surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from loose material, dirt, grease, and fungal growth. Sand glossy surfaces to provide a key. If existing mould is present, treat it with a fungicidal wash before painting. For bare wood, metal, or uPVC, a suitable primer may be required for optimal adhesion, consult the product label.
- Stirring: Thoroughly stir the paint before and during use to ensure consistent color and finish.
- Application: Apply with a good quality synthetic brush or roller. Apply 2 coats for best results, allowing adequate drying time between coats.
Compatibility
This paint is compatible with exterior wood, metal, and uPVC surfaces. Do not use on interior surfaces or surfaces not specified as compatible. Always perform a small test patch in an inconspicuous area if unsure about compatibility with an unusual substrate.
Care
- Cleaning Painted Surfaces: For general cleaning, simply wipe painted surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing that could damage the satin finish.
- Tool Cleaning: As this is a water-based paint, brushes and rollers can be cleaned easily with warm water immediately after use. If paint has dried, use a suitable brush cleaner.
- Storage: Store paint in a dry, frost-free place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out. Do not dispose of paint down drains or into watercourses.
