System information

To get the best results make sure surfaces to be painted are sound, clean and dry (new surfaces particularly must be fully dry).

On very absorbent surfaces apply a sealing coat of thinned Glidden Trade Acrylic Eggshell (add up to 1 part clean water to 10 parts paint.).

The normal finishing process is 2 full coats of Glidden Trade Acrylic Eggshell, but on previously painted surfaces in good condition, where similar colours are used, 1 coat may be sufficient.

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

Top Trade Tip

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

*Not all colours are available in all pack sizes.
