Do not use at temperatures below 10°C, or when the temperature of the surface may fall below 10°C during the drying period. Avoid exposure to steam and condensation for 48 hours after application. Although the film is dry to touch in 30 minutes, allow 7 days for film to fully cure. To care for the new chalkboard, avoid using it for at least 48 hours after painting. This will allow the chalkboard to be fully hardened and provide the best results. In humid or cool conditions allow a longer drying time of 72 hours. Use normal dusters to remove chalk, however the most effective method of removal is to lightly wash with a damp cloth or sponge.
Scrape off any loose and flaking paint. Fill any imperfections with appropriate filler and sand smooth. Dust off and undercoat with one coat of Dulux 1 Step Acrylic Primer Sealer Undercoat. Previously Painted Chalkboard (not suitable for industrially manufactured school chalkboards): Sand surface. Dust off. Apply one coat of Dulux 1 Step Acrylic Primer Sealer Undercoat.

Stir thoroughly with a broad, flat paddle using an up and down scooping action.
