Before painting, ensure....

• the substrate has been cleaned and degreased
• all cracks and blemishes, above and below the waterline, have been fine filled with Epoxy Filler or Unfiller
• the surface has been abraded to provide a suitable key, then washed with fresh water and allowed to dry
• any dust on the surface has been removed with a tack rag.

General tips when painting

• Thoroughly prepare the surface – this is key to a successful finish.
• To avoid dust rising, dampen the ground before painting.
• Always stir paint thoroughly with a flat blade to an even consistency.
• Stir paint periodically while applying.
• Pour enough paint for the job into a suitable container. With single pack products, resealing the lid maintains the paint for next time.
• It’s often easier if two people carry out brush and roller painting, with the first person applying the paint with a roller and the second person laying-off with a brush.
• Remove any masking tape before the paint completely cures. This will help avoid exaggerated edges.

General good practice when painting

• Open cans with care.
• Immediately clean up spills.
• Don’t eat or drink in the vicinity of stored or applied paint.
• Wear appropriate personal protection equipment.
• Ensure adequate ventilation for the product used. If necessary use a respirator.
• Always read the label thoroughly. If you’re not sure what’s needed, contact your local Hempel office.
• Any surface to be painted must always be thoroughly cleaned and primed
