Preparation
For best results, make sure surfaces to be painted are sound, clean, dry and free from all defective or poorly adhering material such as dirt, grease or wax.
- Remove and treat any mould, algae, lichen or moss with .
- Rub down previously painted surfaces thoroughly and wipe off with a damp, lint free cloth. Pre-1960s paint surfaces over wood and metal may contain harmful lead, so special precautions should be taken.
- Treat knots with an appropriate knotting solution.
- New or bare surfaces should be primed with an appropriate primer.
- Any surface defects should be filled with the appropriate filler.
Application
Stir thoroughly before, we recommend to perform a test patch to ensure you are happy with the finished results.
- Apply with a brush or roller only. Do not spray.
- Generally, it is necessary to apply 2 full coats of Dulux Trade Mouldshield Fungicidal Eggshell, however on previously painted surfaces in good condition, where similar colours are used, 1 coat may be enough.
- When applying water-based paints to surfaces previously decorated with a conventional solvent- based paint, very thorough surface preparation will be required.
Note: Always follow the manufacturer's instructions found on the tin.
