• Previously gloss-painted surfaces should be abraded to create a suitable surface for adhesion.
  
• Remove loose or flaking material by scraping or using a stiff-bristled brush.

• For porous or chalky areas, treat with Sandtex Trade Stabilising Solution before applying Sandtex Trade Fine Textured Matt Paint.
  

 

Application

• Always perform a test patch on the surface to ensure satisfaction with the final appearance.
  
• Thoroughly stir the paint and mix packs in a larger container for consistent colour.
