Application Instructions

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from contaminants before application. For smooth concrete, roughen the surface by abrading or blasting. New concrete must be fully cured, which can take up to 3 months. Previously painted surfaces should be cleaned, sanded, and treated to ensure good adhesion.

• Recommended for use with brushes or rollers; do not thin the paint.
• Allow a minimum of 16 hours between coats for optimal results.
• Full hardness is achieved within 5-7 days.

Limitations and Restrictions

Do not use this product on surfaces prone to direct water exposure, such as swimming pools or other immersed environments. It is not suitable for use on plastic or flexible substrates. Additionally, this product should not be thinned or applied in high-humidity environments, as this may affect drying times and final performance. Avoid breathing in spray mist or vapours when applying in enclosed spaces. For outdoor use, ensure adequate ventilation to prevent the build-up of harmful vapours.

Recommended Additional Products

For the best results, consider pairing this eggshell finish with appropriate primers like the Coo-Var Penetrating Wood Primer for wood surfaces or the Coo-Var Zinc Phosphate Metal Primer for ferrous metals. These primers ensure excellent adhesion and longevity of the topcoat.
