SURFACE PREPARATION
NEW AND UNPAINTED: Ensure that surfaces are dry and cleaned free of all dirt, dust, grease, oil, wax, form oils, parting compounds, fungal and algal growths and other debris and contaminants.
MASONRY: Ensure that the surfaces have thoroughly dried out, allowing cement-rendered surfaces and cementmortar pointing to cure for 4-6 weeks, and poured concrete for 6-8 weeks. Fill any surface defects (holes, cracks, crevices etc.) with an appropriate masonry filler. Rub down with rubbing stone/brick to remove all loose particles.
IRON AND STEEL: Remove rust and millscale by handtool cleaning (SSPC-SP2-82) or power tool cleaning to Swedish Standard ST-2. Remove oil, grease etc. by solvent cleaning with Penta Thinner 41.
ALUMINIUM: Clean and etch-prime with Penta Etch Primer
WOOD: New wood must be cured, dry and clean. Fill all cracks, holes etc. with an appropriate wood putty (Stopper) or filler, priming first with Penta Wood Primer Undercoat.
CHIPBOARD: Single layer, open-surface chipboards may require sanding and overall filling with oil or water-based fillers if a high standard of finish is required, but the surface must be primed first with an oil-based primer such as Penta Wood Primer Undercoat.
PREVIOUSLY PAINTED: Remove all loose, flaking, peeling and semi-adherent paint, sanding to a feather-edge where necessary, and remove all contaminants, to obtain a clean, firm, sound surface. Fill surface defects as for new surfaces. Rub down smooth glossy surfaces.
TREATMENT OF FUNGUS AND ALGAE INFECTED AREAS: Clean with a solution of 1 litre household bleach in 3 parts water. Leave up to 24 hours. Rinse off thoroughly.
