Previously Painted Surfaces
Wash down with Selleys Sugar Soap solution and rinse with clean water to remove any dirt, oil or grease. In cases where mould or mildew is present, use a household bleach solution. Dilute 1 part bleach with 3 parts clean water. Wear gloves and goggles. Use a scouring pad wet with bleach solution to lightly abrade the surface and ensure physical removal of stubborn areas of mould growth. Leave the bleach solution on the surface for 15 minutes, then thoroughly remove by washing down with clean water and wipe dry. In very severe cases, repeat this action to remove all mould.
Surfaces must be sanded to remove loose, peeling, flaking or chalky paint. Sand all gloss and semi gloss surfaces to a dull finish and wipe down with a damp cloth to remove surface dust. Apply one coat of Dulux UltraAir Primer to walls that have been repaired or which have an uneven gloss or colour.
Bare Paper-faced Wallboard, Cement Sheet and Brick
Brush down to remove any surface dust. Apply one coat of Dulux UltraAir Primer.
Bare Interior Timber
Sand smooth. Dust off. Apply one coat of Dulux UltraAir Primer. For tannin-rich timber, Dulux 1-Step Oil may be required to prevent tannins from bleeding through.
Bare Set Plaster, Fibrous Plaster and Plasterglass
Brush down to remove any surface dust. Apply one coat of Precision Sealer Binder.
Stir well before use with a broad flat paddle using an up and down scooping action. Apply two coats of Dulux UltraAir Low Sheen ensuring that the first coat is completely dry before applying the second.
Brush/Roller
Use good quality brushes and rollers. Using poor quality or worn rollers can affect the final finish achieved. Use an 11mm-18mm nap synthetic roller. Pre-wet brushes and rollers with water and remove excess moisture before loading roller with paint. Thinning is usually not required. Under hot conditions up to 50ml per litre of water may be used.
Airless/Conventional Spray
Suitable for application by all standard spray equipment. If necessary, to aid atomisation, up to 100ml per litre of water may be added for conventional spray or up to 30ml per litre of water for airless spray.
