Surface Preparation
Proper surface preparation is important for achieving a smooth and consistent silk finish. Before applying Primax Power Silk Emulsion, ensure that the substrate is properly prepared.
- Remove dust, dirt, grease, and loose material.
- Remove weak or poorly adhering previous coatings where necessary.
- Repair cracks, holes, and significant surface defects before painting.
- Sand uneven areas where required.
- Remove sanding dust thoroughly.
- Ensure the surface is suitably dry, stable, and ready for painting.
- Use an appropriate Primax primer, sealer, or surface preparation system where required.
A smooth surface is especially important with a slightly glossy finish because irregularities can become more noticeable after painting.
