SURFACE PREPARATION
NEW SURFACES – Ensure that surfaces have thoroughly dried out, allowing cement rendered surfaces and cement – mortar pointing to cure for 4-6 weeks and poured concrete for 6-8 weeks The surfaces must be dry and cleaned free of all dirt, dust, grease, oil, wax, form oils, pointing compounds, fungal and algal growth, and other debris and contaminants. Fill any surface defects (holes, cracks, crevices etc.) with appropriate masonry / wood filler. Rub down with rubbing stone/ brick to remove all loose particles.
PREVIOUSLY PAINTED – Remove all loose, flaking, peeling and semi-adherent paint, sanding to a featheredge where necessary, and remove all contaminants, to obtain a clean, firm, sound surface. Fill surface defects as for new surface. Rub down smooth glossy surfaces
ALUMINIUM: Clean and etch-prime with Penta Etch Primer.
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. NB. Exposed nail and screw-heads, which are not corrosion resistant, must be touched-in with an oil- based primer.
