Application
YOU HAVE TWO HOURS TO APPLY
Open doors and windows to ensure good ventilation.
Follow all safety precautions outlined on the PART A and PART B cans.
Applying the Dulux Professional DryErase over a semi gloss or gloss acrylic coat will deliver the best holdout and maximise performance of the topcoat.
Only apply Dulux Professional® DryErase™ with the supplied roller sleeve, ensuring you remove any lint before beginning. Use a new roller sleeve with each new kit and dispose of used sleeve.
Use Dulux Professional® DryErase™ in rooms that are maintained at temperatures between 20°C and 30°C and below 85% relative humidity.
Application instructions
Dulux Professional® DryErase™ dries quickly. Apply in sections up to one metre wide by the entire height.
Cut in edges using a small 4-5mm short nap microfibre roller.
Dulux Professional® DryErase™ is applied in a two coat process:
For areas up to 5m²: Pour half of the mixed product into the tray and apply the first coat of Dulux Professional® DryErase™ over the area (up to 5m²) with the roller sleeve provided. The first layer should be a thin, consistent coat over the whole area being coated. Allow a minimum of 30 minutes for this first coat to dry. During this time, wrap the roller in cling wrap plastic or foil to keep the roller moist. Also, cover the tray with cling wrap plastic or foil to avoid it drying out or wipe the tray clean before adding the remaining mixture. Pour remaining mixture into the tray and apply the second coat. The first coat may be slightly tacky after 30 minutes but can still be overcoated. The pot life will be two hours depending on conditions. Ensure the two coats are completed within the pot life of the product.
For areas between 5m² and 10m²: Mix one kit and use this to apply one even first coat over the entire area (up to a maximum of 10m²). Allow a minimum of 30 minutes (or a maximum of 24 hours) to dry prior to applying the second coat with a new fresh kit.
For areas greater than 10m²: Mix one kit at a time and use this to apply one even first coat over the first 10m² area. Use an additional kit for every 10m² until all of the area being painted has one even first coat. Allow a minimum of 30 minutes (or a maximum of 24 hours) to dry prior to applying the second coat.
Be sure to overlap sections by 5-10cms and back-roll the overlap for complete, consistent coverage.
Ensure a new roller sleeve (supplied) and new tray liner is used for every kit mixed or applied 10m² of product. This will avoid any possible cross-contamination.
Use good lighting when applying in order to ensure even coverage.
For further product or application advice or a Safety Data Sheet contact Dulux Customer Service on New Zealand 0800 800 424.
Clean up
At the completion of your wall, any masking tape used should be removed immediately, ideally while Dulux Professional® DryErase™ is still wet, and clean up.
If you have drips on the carpet or skirting board, use water to clean those spots as soon as possible. For stubborn stains use Diggers Isopropyl Alcohol. If you get it on your hands wash immediately with soap and water.
If you are unable to remove tape before Dulux Professional® DryErase™ dries, score the edges with safety knife before removing the tape.
Use
Allow seven days to fully cure before using.
Your finished Dulux Professional® DryErase™ surface will have slight “orange-peel” texture; this is normal and will not affect the performance or erasability of Dulux Professional® DryErase™. It is safe to use most dry erase style whiteboard markers on the Dulux Professional® DryErase™ surface.
Do not use EXPO® pink whiteboard markers, red whiteboard crayons or Crayola® dry erase markers. It is advisable to test novelty markers in an inconspicuous area first. Some novelty markers (for example “fluoro” markers) require wet-wipe removal.
Please refer to the specific novelty marker instructions for removal.
