Preparation

• Ensure all surfaces to be painted are clean, dry and free from grease and loose or flaking material, or any other contaminants that may impair adhesion
• Any faults in the substrate, particularly those that can lead to moisture penetration must be rectified or can affect the finish quality
• Any existing crazed or flaking paint, dirt, grease or other surface contaminants should be removed
• If your substrate has been previously painted, rub down with a fine waterproof abrasive paper and then rinse thoroughly
• Bare substrates should also be abraded in a similar manner to allow improved adhesion
• To improve inter-coat adhesion, repeat between all additional coats
• Please avoid inhaling any sanding dust and always wear a face mask if fine sanding
• Special precautions should be taken during preparation of pre-1960's paint surfaces over wood and metal as they may contain harmful lead
• Hard wall plasters should be scored with a coarse glass-paper
• External Masonry Surfaces only: Loose or friable substrates can be treated with Wethertex ST1 Quick Dry Stabilising Primer prior to application
