Preparation
Surfaces must be clean, dry and free from loose and flaking material, dirt, grease etc. Repairs should be carried out prior to painting. Surfaces previously treated with gloss paint or two pack floor paints should be lightly abraded before painting.
Application
Stir well before use. First coats on unpainted concrete or wood should be thinned 10-20% with White Spirit to allow penetration into the substrate. May be applied without thinning by brush, roller or airless spray. Normally one thinned and two full coats are recommended for new floors. Light traffic can commence after 24-48 hours depending on drying conditions. Full cure 7-10 days.
Clean up
Equipment should be cleaned with white spirit immediately after use.
Precautions
Always read the can label before use. Ensure maximum ventilation during application and drying.
