Handy Hint #9

How to Apply

Surface Preparation 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.
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. Weathered 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 or 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.
Clean Up Water, away from drains.
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 and 50% relative humidity.
Stirring Stir paint with a 25mm wide flat stirrer in a circular lifting motion for at least 5 minutes before use.
Temperature Do not use at temperatures below 10°C, above 35°C or when humidity is excessive.
