18 General painting advice General painting advice This section contains general painting advice, as well as advice for painting on specific surfaces. Before painting, ensure.... • the substrate has been cleaned and degreased • all cracks and blemishes, above and below the waterline, have been fine filled with Epoxy Filler or Unfiller • the surface has been abraded to provide a suitable key, then washed with fresh water and allowed to dry • any dust on the surface has been removed with a tack rag. General tips when painting • Thoroughly prepare the surface – this is key to a successful finish. • To avoid dust rising, dampen the ground before painting. • Always stir paint thoroughly with a flat blade to an even consistency. • Stir paint periodically while applying. • Pour enough paint for the job into a suitable container. With single pack products, resealing the lid maintains the paint for next time. • It’s often easier if two people carry out brush and roller painting, with the first person applying the paint with a roller and the second person laying-off with a brush. • Remove any masking tape before the paint completely cures. This will help avoid exaggerated edges. General good practice when painting • Open cans with care. • Immediately clean up spills. • Don’t eat or drink in the vicinity of stored or applied paint. • Wear appropriate personal protection equipment. • Ensure adequate ventilation for the product used. If necessary use a respirator. • Always read the label thoroughly. If you’re not sure what’s needed, contact your local Hempel office. • Any surface to be painted must always be thoroughly cleaned and primed. Key Advice: Check previous coating system for compatibility to intended new coating system.
