APPLICATION DETAILS

Application conditions

All surfaces to be painted must be dry, the temperature of the air at least +5°C, and the relative humidity of the air below 80%.

Preparation

Unpainted surfaces:
Clean surfaces from dirt, dust, grease and oil. Remove possible white rust from galvanized surface by brushing. Clean plastic surface with a solvent, e.g. Thinner 1029 or other denatured ethanol. Sand the surface and dust off. Due to the various qualities of plastic the effect of solvent and adhesion of the paint should be tested prior to painting the whole surface. Prime wood surfaces with Jehu or Otex. Prime metal surfaces with Rostex Super anticorrosion primer. Aluminium surfaces are roughened prior to priming.

Previously painted surfaces:
Wash down with Maalipesu detergent and rinse carefully with water. Remove loose paint with a scraper and sand the whole surface. Dust off. Fill holes and cracks with Lacquer Putty. Sand filled spots and dust off. For worn out wood surfaces apply Jehu or Otex and for metal surfaces Rostex Super anticorrosion primer as an undercoat.

When you paint with bright red, yellow or orange colour, prime wood surfaces with Jehu or Otex tinted to the same colour. Zinc-coated, aluminium and steel surfaces should be primed with Rostex Super, light grey.

Painting

Stir the paint thoroughly and thin if necessary with White Spirit 1050 in brush application and with Spray Thinner 1032 in spray application. Apply one or two coats by brush, roller or spray.

Cleaning of tools

Clean tools immediately after use with White Spirit 1050 or Tikkurila Tool Cleaner.

Maintenance instructions

Not earlier than 1 month after treatment: Clean the surface with neutral cleaning agent
(pH 6-8) using smooth brush, sponge or cleaning cloth. Clean very dirty surfaces with lightly alkalic cleaning agent (pH 8-10) using e,g, cleaning cloth, mop or sponge. Rinse the surface carefully with water.

The surface achieves its final hardness and durability after approx.1 month under normal conditions, therefore the surface should be handled with care during that time.
If the surface has to be cleaned soon after treatment, use smooth brush, damp cleaning cloth or mop.
