Application

For best application, apply via brush, by working into the surface. To prepare the substrate for painting, first lightly abrade the surface to produce a key. Remove all dust, then clean and degrease the surface. Ensuring the surface is free from any dirt loose particles or contamination.

Traditionally, painters would apply a fine coat of pure boiled linseed oil first to increase the adhesion of the paint. This is an optional priming coat as the paint will still be durable without this first coat. Apply in thin coats to the surface, rather than in one thick coating.

Take care with the application as materials and soiled rags as they may self-ignite without warning. Dispose of safely by lying flat and allow to dry or clean with warm soapy water to avoid fire risks.
