Preparation

All surfaces must be suitably dry, and free from anything that will interfere with the adhesion of the materials to be applied.

New Walls and Ceilings Surfaces

• Porous surfaces should be coated with a ‘mist’ coat of Crown Trade Clean Extreme Stain Resistant Acrylic Eggshell diluted with between minimum 20% and maximum 40% clean water by volume. Where clean water is not available, apply one coat of Crown Trade Covermatt Drywall Primer.
• Any areas of surface filling after priming should be touched in with the priming or mist coat diluted as for main areas.
• Powdery surfaces should be primed with one coat of Sandtex Trade Water Based Stabilising Solution.
• Polished or dense surfaces should be primed with Crown Trade PX3 Primer or where a water-based alternative is required Crown Trade PX4 Primer.

Previously Decorated Walls and Ceilings Surfaces

• Remove all loose, failing or suspect paint.
• Feather edges of sound paint.
• Organic growth must be treated with Sandtex Trade Fungicidal Solution and removed.
• Fill any fixing holes, cracks and shallow surface defects with Sandtex Ready Mixed Filler.
• Patch prime bare, filled and powdery areas as for new surfaces above.
• Wash remaining sound paint with hot water and liquid detergent solution to remove any contaminants, frequently changing the water.
• Any glossy or eggshell surfaces should be wet abraded to provide a key. Rinse with clean water to remove all residues. Allow to dry.
• If after cleaning any areas are still contaminated with substances likely to cause staining and / or bleeding, patch prime with one coat of Crown Trade PX4 Primer

New Wood Surfaces

• Remove all dust.
• Timber with oils/extractives must be swabbed with clean methylated spirits, frequently changing the face of the cloths.
• Treat any knots with two coats of fresh knotting.
