Preparation

Surfaces must be sound, clean, dry and correctly prepared (new surfaces particularly must be fully dry)

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 any knots in wood with an appropriate knotting solution.

Any surface defects should be filled with an appropriate Polycell Trade Polyfilla.

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.

When applying water-based paints to surfaces previously decorated with a conventional solvent-based paint, very thorough surface preparation will be necessary.

Application

To get the best results, ensure the surfaces to be painted are sound, clean, and dry. It is recommended to test a small area of the surface to be painted to ensure compatibility and that you are happy with the finished results.

Stir thoroughly before use.

Apply 1 or 2 coats of Dulux Trade Quick Dry Undercoat, as required.

Follow with 1 or 2 coats of Dulux Trade Quick Dry Gloss. Where a strong colour change is involved, 2 coats will be required.

Newly painted doors and windows should not be closed (tightly) until the paint is fully dry.

To get the best with the Dulux Trade Quick Dry Undercoat, lightly dampen both a synthetic brush and the surface before application to increase flow out.

Always follow the manufacturer's instructions found on the tin.
