For best results, ensure surfaces to be painted are sound, clean, dry and free from dirt, dust or any other surface contaminants.

1. Remove all loose and defective paint with a paint scraper, by sanding, or with a paint stripper
2. Special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1960s paint surfaces as they may contain harmful lead
3. Where necessary, wash the surface to remove dirt, grease and powdery or dusty residues
4. Rinse with clean water and allow to dry
5. Any surface defects should be filled with an appropriate filler
6. If required, rub down surfaces and then wipe off with a damp, lint-free cloth to remove dust
7. Seal surfaces that remain powdery after thorough preparation with an appropriate plaster sealer, or use Dulux Trade Stain Block Primer, which will also seal in any stains

Remove any pre-existing mould and fungi using an appropriate mould and mildew cleaner.

Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.

Use only in well ventilated areas. Keep any aquariums and plants away from the environment where the product is being applied.

For best colour consistency, purchase sufficient paint for each project including enough for touch-in at a later time.

1. Stir the paint thoroughly before and periodically during use
2. Apply 2 coats of Dulux Trade Mouldshield Fungicidal Matt using a good quality synthetic brush or microfibre roller
3. Allow 2 - 4 hours drying time between coats
4. Only 1 coat may be required on previously painted surfaces in good condition, where a similar colour has been used

Thinning Guidelines

• Sealing new or bare surfaces: Add up to 1 part clean water to 5 parts paint
• Normal use (not to be exceeded): Add up to 1 part clean water to 10 parts paint

Please note: For Health & Safety reasons spray application is not recommended when using fungicidal paints.

Cleaning

Painted surfaces can be gently wiped with a damp cloth to remove surface scuffs and marks.
