Un-painted porous surfaces should be primed with Claircollee. Any algae or mould must be treated with a fungicide and making good and filling should be carried out with a material appropriate to the substrate.
It is recommended that trials are carried out to ensure that the surface is suitable for application.

APPLICATION:

 Method
Best applied by brush. Cannot be spray applied. Brushes and equipment should be cleaned with warm, soapy water immediately after use.

Thinning
Primed or previously painted surfaces should require no thinning.
Oil Bound Distempere is temperature sensitive and will thicken in cold conditions. If paint has thickened, it is preferable to stand the can in a bucket of hot water rather than dilute. Only if absolutely necessary dilute by no more than 10% (by volume) with clean water. Two coats normally recommended.
