APPLICATION DETAILS
Application conditions The surface to be painted must be dry, the temperature of the air at least +5 °C, and the relative humidity of the air below 80%. NB Under the circumstances mentioned above, drying is notably slower than under standard circumstances (+23°C, relative humidity 50%).

Preparation Unpainted surfaces:
Remove all dirt, grease and dust. Prime wood surfaces with Jehu or Otex primer and metal surfaces with Otex Primer.

Previously painted surfaces: Wash down previously painted surfaces with Cleaning Agent (Maalipesu) and rinse carefully with water. Remove loose, flaking paint with a scraper and sand the whole surface. Remove sanding dust. Cement holes and cracks with Spakkeli Alkyd filler. Sand the filled spots and remove sanding dust. If needed, prime with Jehu or Otex primer. Metal surfaces and industrially with acid-curing paint or lacquer finished surfaces should be primed with Otex Primer.
Diluting Does not need to be diluted.
Painting Stir Maalarin Valkolakka when necessary. Apply two coats by brush or roller. One coat is enough on primed or previously with same colour painted surfaces.
