Preparation
Ensure the surface is clean, dry and free from dirt and grease.
- Wash the surface with Tikkurila Maalipesu cleaning agent or suitable cleaning solution and rinse carefully with water
- Repair any cracks or holes with an appropriate filler
- Sand down the surface matte
- Remove the sanding dust
Application
Always test a small area of the surface to be painted to ensure you are happy with the finished results
- Stir thoroughly before use to ensure the paint is completely mixed.
- Thin, if necessary, for brush application with White Spirit 1050, and for spray application with Spray thinner 1032.
- Apply 1 coat of Otex Primer by brush, roller or sprayer.
- Allow to dry.
- Otex levels well, so sanding after priming is often unnecessary. When a very smooth surface is preferred, sand with a fine dry sanding paper the following day.
- Top coat can be applied the following day.
Always follow manufacturer's instructions found on the tin
Aftercare & Storage
Unaffected by cold storage or transportation
After use firmly secure the lid.
If needed, at the earliest after approx. 1 month from painting: Clean the surface with a neutral (pH 6-8) dishwashing solution and a soft brush, sponge or cleaning cloth. Clean very dirty surfaces with a lightly alkaline (pH 8-10) dishwashing solution and with cleaning cloth or sponge. Rinse the surface carefully. The surfaces must be handled with care during few weeks after finishing as the paint will reach its final hardness in normal circumstances after one month. If the surfaces need to be cleansed soon after finishing they must be cleansed lightly with a soft brush or a damp cleaning cloth.
