Application Method
Preparation of Surface
New surfaces: Ensure that all dust, dirt and foreign matter are scraped and brushed away. Also ensure the surfaces are free from salts, oil, grease and ridges. Protect all adjacent surfaces not to be covered. All cracks, chips, voids and damages should be repaired with Terraco Handycoat Exterior.
Old surfaces: Before applying to old surfaces, ensure the substrate is firm. First wash down the surface with a sugar soap solution, rinse and allow to dry before repairing or applying the primer.
Priming:
Priming new or old work is not necessary, but in order to stabilise a surface which shows signs of dusting or flaking, the use of Terraco Penetrating Primer is recommended.
Application & cleaning of tools
When applying to old painted surfaces, first wash down with a soda/water solution, rinse and allow to dry before either patching or painting. Very porous substrates should be filled and may require a diluted first coat. Apply the paint by brush, roller or spray.
Clean tools and equipment with water after use.
