Application

  • Apply product on dry substrates when air and surface temperatures are between 2°-32°C and will remain between 2°-32°C for at least 4 hours after applying.
  • Allow paint film to dry for at least 60 minutes prior to rain showers when temperatures are between 15°-21° C and 60-70% relative humidity. Lower temperatures, higher humidity or deep colours may increase dry time and/or rain resistance time.
  • Stir paint occasionally. Intermix containers of same product to ensure colour and sheen uniformity.
  • On semi-smooth surfaces, use a high quality 10-13 mm nap roller cover, nylon/polyester brush or an airless sprayer (.015 -.021" spray tip, 60 mesh filter).
  • On rough surfaces, use a high quality 19-25 mm nap roller cover.
  • Do not thin if using a roller or brush; however, if using a sprayer and thinning is required, thin with water at a rate of no more than 250 mL per 3.79 L
  • Certain colours may require more than one coat for complete hide.
  • On heavy stains and woods that contain tannins, allow 12-16 hours of dry time between coats.
  • After 4 weeks, cured paint film may be cleaned with a mild, non-abrasive liquid detergent. Dry paint film is mildew resistant.
