How to Apply

General	Ensure surfaces to be painted are clean, dry and free of contamination, in hot and windy conditions or when painting very absorbent surfaces, dampen the surface with water before painting. Fill surface defects with suitable filler or sealsnt. Surface must be clean, dry and free from all dirt, dust, grease, oil, rust and any other surface contamination.
Previously Painted Surfaces	Remove loose and flaking paint and sand surface thoroughly. On aged enamel use Taubmans 3 in 1 for intercoat adhesion. Treat bare areas as for new work.
New Work/ Unpainted Suraces	Timber - Sand weathered (greyed) timber to the original timber surface. Tannin rich timbers should be primed with Taubmans Prep Right Wood Primer or Taubmans 3 in 1. Galvanised Iron - Degrease new surfaces, thoroughly clean weathered surfaces to ensure adhesion. For structural galvanized iron, abrade with 240# paper to remove chemical treatments. If red dust is present, treat as for steel. Cement Render/Concrete - Allow concrete, cement render and mortar to cure for 28 days before painting. Steel - Remove rust and primse with Taubmans PrepRight Iron and Stee Primer.
Before Painting	Confirm colour before use. Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid painting in direct sun or windy conditions. Dampen highly absorbent surfaces. Disconnect drinking water pipes before painting roofs, reconnect after first rain.
Application	Apply using a brush, roller or spray. Use two generous coats and three on unpainted surfaces.
New Work	Timber - Weathered (greyed) timber must be sanded to original timber surface. Tannin rich timbers such as cedar should be primed with Taubmans Prep Right Wood Primer or Taubmans 3 in 1. Galvanised Iron - Thoroughly degrease new surfaces. Weatheres surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned before painting. For structural galvanised iron, abrade with 240# paper to remove chemical treatments and allow full adhesion. Cement Render/Concrete - Allow concrete, cement render and mortar to cure for 28 days before painting. Steel - Remove rust and prime with Taubmans Prep Right Iron and Steel Primer of White Knight Metal Primer.
Coats	Apply two liberal coats by brush, roller or spray. Do not overspread. Keep brushes and rollers working freely by rinsing occasionally in clean water.

Coverage	Up to 16m²/litre, depending on nature of surface. Coverage will be lower on rough or absorbent surfaces.
Recoat	Recoat after 2 hours at 25°C (allow 4 hours to cool in humid areas)
