Preparation
Ensure that the area you are painting is clean, sound and dry.
- Water-borne coatings can be sensitive to rubber containing plasticisers such as flexible PVC strips. The paint film may partially dissolve due to these plasticisers and become sticky. It is advisable to replace such flexible strips with those made of EPDM rubber. We recommend that you seek the advice of the manufacturers of the strips regarding this problem.
- Thoroughly rub down previously painted surfaces, using ‘wet flatting’ methods where possible, then wipe off with a damp, lint free cloth. Special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1960s paint surfaces over wood and metal as they may contain harmful lead.
- Treat knots with an appropriate knotting solution or primer.
- Fill any surface defects with the appropriate filler.
- When applying water-based paints to surfaces previously decorated with a conventional solvent based paint, very thorough surface preparation will be necessary.
Application
We recommend always follow the manufacturer's instructions found on the tin. Stir thoroughly, it is recommended that a small test area is applied before treating the entire surface to ensure compatibility.
- To get the best finish, lightly dampen both a synthetic brush and the wall prior to application to ease flow out
- Apply in temperatures exceeding 8°C.
- Dulux Trade Diamond Satinwood can be applied with a brush, roller or conventional spray. For best results use a synthetic (nylon polyester) brush or short pile roller designed for water based paints.
