Coverage

• A 2.5l tin will provide a coat of up to 35m². For a durable finish, 2 coats are required, so your 2.5l tin should provide full coverage for approximately 17.5m² on non-porous surfaces. Thinner application may affect durability. Porous surfaces will affect the rate of coverage and require additional coats.

Preparation

• Ensure surfaces are in suitable condition for painting and clean, dry, free from wax, grease of penetrating substances and in sound condition. If previously painted, remove loose or flaking paint. Fill any holes/imperfections with a suitable filler.
• Surface preparation required in addition to the above – clean with Frenchic Sugar Soap, rinse and dry. Hand-sand sufficiently to abrade the surface. Wipe off any dust, paint away! For a great demonstration, see our video from Frenchic TV.
• Take care on opening the tin lid – a Frenchic tin opener is recommended.
• Stir thoroughly with a wide implement prior to each use.

Application, drying and sealing

• Apply with a good quality brush or a roller, Also suitable for spraying - thin with up to 15% tap water and apply additional coat(s).
• Allow a minimum of 2 hours between coats (even if the paint feels touch dry).
• Curing time is up to 2 weeks in normal conditions. Treat the newly painted surface with care until then.
• For floors, to avoid damaging the finish, do not walk on the area for 4 hours after painting and then with socks for the next 7 days. Also, try to keep pet paw claws off as well during this period. Do not allow the surface to become wet for at least a week. Continue to treat with care for up to 3 weeks.

Clean up and storage

• Reseal tin after use. Clean up any spills immediately with water. Wash brushes in warm, soapy water.
• Do not store where the tin could be subjected to damp, frost, freezing or high temperatures.
