Surface Preparation

Surfaces should be clean, dry, sound and free of dust, dirt, excessive chalky material, grime, grease, oil, wax, mould, wallpaper adhesive or any contamination that may interfere with adhesion. If unsure, always wash surface with a household cleaner, appropriate cleaning solution, or
solvent. Clean new galvanised with methylated spirit. Remove any unsoundly adhered coatings. Sand any remaining paint film edges smooth with the surface.

New plaster which is polished or dusty should be sealed with Zinsser Gardz®. Lightly sand exposed exterior wood with 80 to 100 grit sandpaper to remove loose or weathered wood fibers. When priming over stained areas, first attempt to remove as much of the stain as possible by washing, sanding, scraping, etc. Remove mould and treat area with Blackfriar Fungicidal Wash, or Zinsser Mould Killer & Remover. Wire brush rusty areas. Spot prime knots and sap streaks with Zinsser B-I-N® Primer-Sealer.

WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint, you may release lead dust. Special precautions should be taken during the surface preparation of pre 1960’s paint surfaces over wood and metal as they may contain harmful lead. When dry-sanding avoid dust inhalation by wearing a suitable protective face mask.
