Limitations on Use

All preparation and painting must conform to AS/NZS2311: The Painting of Buildings. Do not overspread or exceed 14 sqm/L per coat. In hot weather, rinse brush every half hour or use two and keep one standing in water. Do not apply if temperature is under 10C, or when temperature of surface may fall below 10C during the drying period, otherwise film formation will not be complete and poor properties will result.

*Flash rust resistant means spot priming, with a metal primer, over nail heads, bolts and similar metal surfaces is not normally required. 1-Step Prep can be applied over any surface listed under "Uses" which may include nail heads and bolts. On large metal surfaces Precision All Metal Primer is recommended. Call Help & Advice if further assistance is required.

Although 1-Step Prep is suitable for most timbers, tannin rich timbers may require 1-Step Oil based to prevent tannins from bleeding to the surface
