Dulux Texture Full Cover Roll On™ is a flexible acrylic texture producing a flattened render finish. This traditional render texture can fill and level brick and mortar joints and other surface imperfections. A full cover texture roller is recommended to apply this product to enable higher build applications for faster delivery and levelling. Once applied, the material is float trowelled and levelled to a traditional render style.

All preparation and painting must conform to AS2311: The Painting of Buildings.
Do not apply at temperatures below 10C or when the temperature may fall below 10C during the drying period. In summer, paint on the shady side of the building. Do not apply during hot and windy conditions. Protect from rain for 24 hours after application.
All surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned and free of all dirt, loose and flaking paint. Efflorescence or mould must be treated before application of paint. New concrete, mortar or cement render must be allowed to cure for 4 to 8 weeks depending on concrete thickness and drying conditions.
Block down unpainted brick and concrete surfaces using a brick or masonry rubbing stone to remove high spots and loose sand, then broom down.
To test the adhesion of previously painted surfaces, cut an 'X' through the existing paint with a sharp blade, press cellulose tape firmly across the cut and then rip the tape off. If the old paint or render comes off, it should be removed.
On porous surfaces, applying a priming coat of Dulux Texture Primer will condition the surface and help aid application of the Full Cover product.
NOTE: Medium Texture can also be used as a priming coat.
Dulux Full Cover Texture Roller and float
Stir contents thoroughly before and during use with a broad flat paddle, using an up and down scooping action. Pour the material from the 10L product pail into a 15L Application pail - this will act as a roller tray does for normal paint.
Application is in 2 parts: Delivery (via the Dulux Full Cover Roller) and Finishing (using a plastic float)
Finishing: After cleaning the plastic float, finish the levelled area in circular strokes to further fill and level out the area. Work in larger, lighter strokes as the material levels out.
Lubricate the float intermittently by cleaning with a wet sponge.
Repeat the above delivery and finishing procedure, maintaining a working wet edge, until completed.
2 coats are recommended but additional coats may be required depending upon the depth of the mortar joints.
Remove any masking tape before the coating has dried.
The weight of a 10L pail of Full Cover Texture is approximately 17.5kg (about the same weight as a 15L can of paint).
Tinter can be dispersed using a shaker machine, but a gyroscopicshaker machine (15L or above) is required.
Please note: a piston (up/down) shaker will not disperse tinter into the product effectively.
Delivery: generously load the roller directly from the 15L application pail and apply with a smooth, steady action from the ground upwards in vertical strips of 1/2 to 3/4 metre lengths. Reload the roller after each strip and repeat until 4 to 5 strips are applied. Do not overspread the product. Even out material by rolling diagonally across the surface. It is important to work swiftly to allow time for the finishing process and this can be best achieved by working in a team, with one "delivering" and the other "finishing". Where a suitable shaker machine does not exist, hand mixing using a "masher" or using an electric drill mixer should be used. Hand mixing using a "masher" will take between 2-3 minutes per pail. Retailers who are hand mixing will require an empty pail of water for cleaning the masher behind the counter.
Levelling: holding the plastic float at an angle of approx. 45 degrees, with the leading edge angled up, and working from the ground up, push the material across the surface to fill joints and low spots. This should level out the texture before it sets.
