Our Silk Finish is so easy to use-
- Always do a test patch to see if this product is right for your project.
- CLEAN | PRIME | PAINT
- Clean substrate well, try our Lemon Myrtle Cleaner, sand any flaking paint off, lightly scuff sand shiny surfaces to promote adhesion.
- We recommending using Base & Blocker or any flat, matte, water based primer.
- Ensure your Silk Finish Paint is mixed thoroughly and paint away with a brush, spray or roller!
- For best results use a smooth synthetic brush, roller (4mm nap) in long even smooth strokes, avoid over working the paint. It is better to apply in light coats, feathering and spreading out the paint to smooth it out.
- Apply two or more coats, allowing to dry at least 2 hours between coats.
- Cure time - 7-21 days. Drying times will vary dependent on climate. Humidity will increase cure time.
- If spraying, Silk Finish can be watered down up to approx 15% without compromising the built in top coat. If diluting further, either for spraying or for a wash, an additional sealer will be required.
- In some cases, you may find some substrates may have tannin bleed through. Should this happen, use our Base & Blocker leaving overnight to get the best blocking properties.
- Our waxes are not needed with Silk Finish as they will tend just slide around and not absorb into the coating. If wanting to add an aged look or white wash look over the top try our Stain & Glazes.
