Brush, roller
Before spraying:
• Shake can well for at least two minutes after the ball starts rattling and regularly during use.
• Lower temperatures and high humidity will slow the drying and affect the gloss level.
• Avoid spraying when air or surface temperature is below 10°C or above 30°C.
During spraying:
• Hold the can upright 10 to 25cm from the surface.
• To ensure surface compatibility, test spray on inconspicuous area.
• Spray with smooth even strokes, parallel to the sur face.
• Apply several light mist coats rather than one heavy coat, which can cause runs and sags.
After spraying:
• Prevent blocking by turning the can upside down and spraying until clear gas emerges.
• Also wipe front of nozzle clean.
• Clean up overspray while it is still wet with mineral turpentine.
• If a topcoat is required, use Dulux Weathershield® or a system of Dulux Metalshield® Etch Primer and Dulux Metalshield® Premium.
