| APPLICATION DETAILS | ||
| Application conditions | All surfaces to be painted must be dry, the temperature of the air at least +5 °C, and the relative humidity of the air below 80%. | |
| Preparation | Unpainted surfaces:
Clean surfaces from dirt, dust, grease and oil. Remove possible white rust from galvanized surface by brushing. Clean plastic surface with a solvent, e.g. Universal Thinner 1060. Sand the surface and dust off. Due to the various qualities of plastic the effect of solvent and adhesion of the paint should be tested prior to painting the whole surface. Prime wood surfaces with Jehu or Otex. Prime steel surfaces with Rostex or Rostex Super anticorrosion primer, galvanized and aluminium surfaces with Rostex Super anticorrosion primer. Aluminium surfaces are roughened prior to priming. Previously painted surfaces: Wash down with Maalipesu detergent and rinse carefully with water. Remove loose paint with a scraper and sand the whole surface. Dust off. Fill holes and cracks with Spakkeli Alkyd Stopper or Lacquer Putty. Sand filled spots and dust off. For worn out wood surfaces apply Jehu or Otex and for metal surfaces Rostex or Rostex Super anticorrosion primer as an undercoat. |
|
| Painting | Stir the paint thoroughly and thin if necessary with White Spirit 1050 in brush application and with Spray Thinner 1032 in spray application. Apply one or two coats by brush, roller or spray. | |
| Cleaning of tools | Clean tools immediately after use with White Spirit 1050 or Tikkurila Tool Cleaner. | |
