System information

Surfaces must be clean, dry, free from all defective or poorly adhering material, dirt, grease, wax etc.

Thoroughly rub down previously painted surfaces, using 'wet flatting' methods where possible, then wipe off with a damp, lint free cloth.

Treat knots with an appropriate knotting solution.

When painting new and bare wood apply one thinned coat of Ecosure Water-based Undercoat from Dulux Trade. Prime all bare metal with an appropriate Dulux Trade metal primer. Any surface defect should be filled with the appropriate Polycell Trade Polyfilla.

When applying water-based paints to surfaces previously decorated with a conventional solvent-based paint, very thorough surface preparation will be necessary.

Apply 1 or 2 coats of Ecosure Water-based Undercoat from Dulux Trade, as required, followed by 1or 2 coats of Ecosure Water-based Gloss from Dulux Trade. Where a strong colour change is involved, 2 coats will be required.

For best results use a good quality synthetic (nylon polyester) brush, designed for use with water-based paints.

After use, remove as much paint as possible from brushes before cleaning with clean water.

*Lower environmental impact is measured by a reduction in VOC and embodied carbon. Using the Gloss and Undercoat as a two-coat system reduces the embodied carbon by 30% compared to standard Dulux Trade High Gloss and Undercoat, as measured by an environmental impact analyser. This has been developed in conjunction with the Forum for the Future - the leading sustainable development charity.
