Important Application Notes
For the best results, surfaces must be clean and free of dirt, grease, and existing mould before application. Existing mould and mildew should be removed using a suitable fungicidal wash before painting.
The paint should be applied when air and surface temperatures are between 10°C and 32°C (50°F and 90°F) and humidity is below 80%. While touch-dry in an hour, the paint should be allowed 24 hours to fully cure in a bathroom before being exposed to steam and moisture, and up to 5-7 days for full scratch resistance.
