Surface preparationSurface preparation should be carried out in accordance with SP 71.13330.2017. Clean the substrate of dust and dirt. On previously painted surfaces, remove loose layers of old paint and whitewash. Sand hard and firmly adhering glossy surfaces to a matte finish, and remove sanding dust.
Level out irregularities, depressions, cracks, and chips with Bergauf putty and sand down.
Surfaces previously covered with chalk or lime paints must be thoroughly cleaned until completely removed. Intensely absorbent surfaces should be pre-primed with Praktik strengthening primer before painting to increase the reliability of the coating and reduce paint consumption.
Operating procedureThe surface to be painted must be dry and clean. The air and surface temperature during application should be between +5°C and +35
°C, relative air humidity below 80%.
Stir the paint thoroughly before use; the paint is ready to use.
To avoid shade differences, use paint from the same batch. Before starting work, perform a test application on the surface to check for color consistency.
The maximum thickness of a single layer is 2–3 mm; it is possible to apply several layers depending on the desired decorative effect.
The material is applied with a roller, brush, sponge, stamp, spatula, or Venetian trowel, followed by texturing. It should be noted that the surface being painted must be covered from corner to corner across the entire area due to the difficulty of joining multiple layers after they have dried.
To obtain a "fur coat" texture, the material is evenly distributed over the surface with a stainless steel trowel, followed by structuring with a roller, or it is distributed immediately with a roller, and the same roller is used to 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. Use structural or paint rollers to achieve the desired relief.
After finishing work, wash hands and tools thoroughly with warm water.
Safety precautionsWork should be carried out using personal protective equipment for hands, eyes, and respiratory organs. Use in well-ventilated areas. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with water. In case of contact with skin, wash with soap and water.
