Preparation
Surfaces must be clean, dry and free from loose and flaking material, dirt, grease etc. Repairs should be
carried out prior to painting. Areas contaminated with fungal or algal growth should be treated with a
proprietary fungicidal wash or with 25% household bleach before painting. Powdery exterior surfaces
should be brushed down and sealed with a masonry stabilising solution before painting. Surfaces
previously treated with oil-based paint should be lightly abraded before painting.
Application
Stir well before use. Ready for use by brush, roller or airless spray. On porous surfaces up to 5% water
may be added to assist application. On very porous surfaces e.g. plaster up to 25% water may be
necessary. One finishing coat will usually suffice on internal surfaces.
Clean up
Equipment should be cleaned with water immediately after use.
Precautions
Always read the can label before use. Do not apply to surfaces below 5°C or if there is a risk of heavy rain or frost during application or drying.
