FAQs

How many coats are needed?

One coat is usually sufficient for covering hairline cracks. For more significant imperfections or a more robust finish, a second coat may be required.

Can I use this paint on walls?

This paint is designed specifically for ceilings. While it may adhere to walls, its formulation is optimized for the unique challenges of ceilings.

How long does it take to dry?

The surface will typically be touch dry in 2-3 hours. Allow overnight for the first coat to dry before applying a second coat.

What kind of roller should I use?

For best results on smooth ceilings, use a short pile roller (up to 5mm, 3/16").

How do I clean my brushes and rollers?

Remove any splashes immediately before they dry. Wash tools in warm, soapy water immediately after use.

Can I apply this paint in cold weather?

It is best to apply the paint within a temperature range of 10-30°C. Avoid extremes of temperature.

What is the coverage rate?

The paint covers approximately 5-8 m²/L, depending on the surface and application method.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not covering cracks effectively.

Ensure all cracks larger than hairline are filled with a suitable filler before applying the paint. A second coat might be needed for tougher cracks.

Paint is peeling or flaking.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, dry, and sound. Remove any loose paint or debris before application.

Uneven finish after application.

Apply the paint evenly, avoiding overspreading. Use a good quality brush or roller.

Paint not drying properly.

Ensure adequate ventilation. Check the temperature and humidity levels, as extreme conditions can affect drying time.

Use a good quality roller with a short pile for a smoother finish. Apply the paint evenly, avoiding excessive rolling.
