Preparation

Before painting, ensure all surfaces are sound, clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, salts, and any defective or poorly adhering coatings.

• Remove loose or flaking material by scraping and sanding, then wipe down to create a smooth, stable base.
• Treat Existing Mould: Remove any visible mould, algae, or organic growth using Weathershield Multi-Surface Fungicidal Wash, ensuring the area is fully cleaned and dry before coating.
• New Surfaces: Newly plastered or masonry substrates must be completely dry before priming or painting.
• Lead Paint Warning: Take special precautions when preparing old paintwork, especially on wood or metal surfaces coated before the 1990s, as these may contain lead. Use appropriate safety procedures and protective equipment when sanding or stripping.

Correct preparation is essential to ensure maximum adhesion, long-lasting protection, and a smooth, professional finish.
