Preparing the substratePrepare the surface in accordance with SP 71.13 330.2017. Clean the surface from dust and dirt. On previously painted surfaces, remove loose layers of old paint and limewash. Sand hard and firmly adhering glossy surfaces until they become matte; remove dust from sanding.
Level out unevenness, pits, cracks and chips with putty Bergauf, sand until smooth.
Surfaces previously coated with chalk or lime-based paints must be thoroughly cleaned until fully removed. Highly absorbent surfaces should be pre-primed with Praktik primer strengthening for painting to improve coating reliability and reduce paint consumption.
Working procedureThe surface to be painted must be dry and clean. The air and substrate temperature during application is from +5°C to +35
°C, and the relative humidity of the air is below 80%.
Thoroughly mix the paint before application; the paint is ready to use.
To avoid differences in shade, use paint from the same batch. Before carrying out work, make a test coat on the surface to check that it matches the color.
Maximum thickness of one layer is 2–3 mm; several layers may be applied depending on the required decorative effect.
The material is applied with a roller, brush, sponge, stamp, trowel, and a Venetian trowel, followed by giving it texture. Please note that the surface to be painted must be covered corner to corner over the entire area due to the difficulty of joining several layers after they dry.
To obtain a «fur» texture, the material is evenly distributed over the surface with a stainless-steel trowel, followed by structuring with a roller, or the material is distributed immediately with a roller; using the same roller, start creating the relief by moving it from top to bottom. The intensity of the relief depends on the number of passes when forming the pattern. To achieve the desired relief, use structural or painting rollers.
After finishing the work, thoroughly wash hands and tools with warm water.
Safety precautionsThe work should be carried out using personal protective equipment for hands, eyes and respiratory pathways. Use in well-ventilated areas. If it gets into the eyes, immediately rinse the eyes with water. If it gets on the skin, rinse with water and soap.
