INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
PREPARATION
Unpainted surfaces:
Clean the surface of dust and dirt. Use suitable filler from Vivacolor series to treat uneven surface. Sand the surface and remove the dust formed. Filler-treated, porous or non-uniformly absorbing surfaces, as well as fibreboard- or plasterboard surfaces shall be primed with waterborne primer Primer 1. Prime metal surface with primer for metals Universal Korrostop. Prime chalk-based surfaces with alkyd primer Special Primer. When using any primer, follow relevant guidance for the use.
Previously painted surfaces:
Remove loose residues of old paint. Clean the surface with cleansing agent Special Clean, rinse it with water and allow to dry. Sand glossy and hard surface until matt, remove dust. Weak and dusty surfaces should be treated with alkyd primer Special Primer. Use suitable filler from Vivacolor series to treat cracks and uneven surfaces, sand the surface and remove the dust formed. Prime filler-treated surfaces with waterborne primer Primer 1.
PAINTING CONDITIONS
Surface should be clean and dry, air temperature between +5oC and +23C, the relative air humidity below 80%. Avoid draught during painting.
PAINTING
Thoroughly mix pain before painting, thin with water if required up to 5% of volume. To obtain uniform shade, mix together sufficient amount of tinted paint from different cans prior painting. Apply 1 or 2 layers with roller, brush or airless spray.
CLEANING OF TOOLS
Clean painting instruments from liquid paint residue, then wash with water. Tikkurila Pensselipesu Tool Cleaner is recommended to remove slightly hardened paint
CARE AND HANDLING OF SURFACE
The surfaces can be cleaned in 1 month after painting. To clean the surface, use a sponge or a cloth, moistened with water or a solution of a neutral cleansing agent (pH 6-8). To clean heavily soiled surfaces, use a sponge or a cloth, moistened with the solution of a low-alkali cleansing agent (pH 8-10). After cleaning, rinse the surface with clean water. On preparing the solution, follow the manufacturer’s instruction. After painting, the surfaces should not be heavily loaded, for under normal conditions the painted surface will gain its ultimate endurance and resistance to wear in approximately 1 month after painting. If the surface still needs cleaning prior to this time, it can be delicately cleaned with a sponge or cloth, moistened with water.
