It grips to old paints and varnish, metal (including galvanised), rigid PVC, glass, ceramic, wood, brick and plaster, and can be over-coated with any architectural water- or solvent-based paint; EN 71-3 compliant for toy and furniture renovation.
Prep
Ensure surfaces are sound, clean, suitably dry and free from contaminants that impair adhesion; remove loose/flaking material and repair defects.
Metals: remove oil and rust.
Wood: sand with the grain; remove dust and any seeping resin; treat bare wood with a wood preserver.
Plastics: lightly sand and clean thoroughly.
Do not use on anodised aluminium.

Application
Do not apply in damp/humid conditions or below +8 °C.
Stir well. Product is ready to use; if needed, thin up to 10% with clean water (over-thinning may impair adhesion).
Apply by brush, medium-pile roller or spray. Load the brush generously, apply evenly, avoid over-spreading.
In most cases one coat is sufficient; porous areas or some stains may need a second coat.
Coverage
Up to 12 m² per litre per coat, depending on surface smoothness and absorbency.
Drying Time
Touch dry: ~30 minutes
Recoat: 4 hours
Top coat: 6 h (water-based) / 12 h (solvent-based)
High humidity will extend drying.
