All preparation and painting must conform to AS2311: The Painting of Buildings.
Do not overspread or exceed 14 sqm/L per coat. In hot weather, rinse brush every half hour or use two and keep one standing in water. Do not apply if temperature is under 10C, or when temperature of surface may fall below 10C during the drying period, otherwise film formation will not be complete and poor properties will result.
*Flash rust resistant means spot priming, with a metal primer, over nail heads, bolts and similar metal surfaces is not normally required. 1Step™ Prep can be applied over any surface listed under "Uses" which may include nail heads and bolts. On large metal surfaces Precision All Metal Primer is recommended. Call Help & Advice, 132525, if further assistance is required.
Although 1Step™ Prep is suitable for most timbers, tannin rich timbers may require 1Step™ Oil based to prevent tannins from bleeding to the surface.
All surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned and free of all loose dirt, grease, stains, mould, surface chalk and loose or flaking paint. Wash unpainted timber surfaces with a suitable timber cleaner to remove excess tannins or greyed timber. New timber surfaces should also be sanded smooth and dusted down prior to priming. Fill nail holes, imperfections and cracks with a suitable filler, sand and dust off. For set plaster or plasterglass use sealer binder as the prepcoat.
Brush, roller, conventional or airless spray.
Note: Spray application is not recommended for priming timber surfaces.
Stir contents thoroughly before and during use. Apply direct from the can. May be applied to dampened surfaces. If applied over dry, porous surfaces, dampen surfaces before applying.
Brush: Wet brushes with water prior to use to avoid clogging. Apply a full even coat direct from the container. Under hot conditions it may be necessary to thin with up to 100mL/L of clean water.
Roller: Using a medium nap roller apply a full even coat and finish with light parallel strokes without reloading the roller.
Airless/Conventional Spray: Suitable for application by all standard spray equipment. If necessary thin with up to 100mL/L of water water to aid atomization.
Note: Spray application is not recommended for priming timber surfaces.
