To achieve optimum results, the surfaces need to be clean, dry, structurally sound and free from dirt, dust or any other surface contaminants.
- Any old, flaking and substandard paint will need to be removed either by sanding or with the use of a paint scraper
- Further precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1960s paint surfaces, such as the use of a dust mask, as they may contain harmful levels of lead
- In the presence of organic growth, such as mould, fungal, algal or lichen growths, then an antifungal wash should be used
- Wash the surface to remove any dirt, grease and dusty or powdery residues. If patches of oil or grease exist, then use a suitable detergent, rinse clean and wait for the area to dry
- If required, use a damp lint free cloth to rub down surfaces to remove any dust and then wipe clean
- If required, place masking tape along the edges of the application area to help maintain a straight clean edge
