APPLICATION DETAILS
Application conditions The surface to be painted must be dry, the temperature of the air at least +5 ºC, and the relative humidity of the air below 80 %.
Painting Stir Otex well before use and thin, if necessary, for brush application with White Spirit 1050, and for spray application with Spray thinner 1032. Apply Otex by brush, roller or spray.

Otex adhesion primer levels well, so sanding is often unnecessary. When a very smooth surface is preferred sand with a fine dry sanding paper.
