AEROSOL APPLICATION: 

BEFORE SPRAYING

• Shake can vigorously for 1 minute to ensure colour uniformity. Shake can occasionally during use.
• Remove cap carefully. Avoid using sharp objects that may puncture the can.
• Test spray on a small inconspicuous area to ensure surface compatibility and finish suitability.

SPRAYING

• Select the nozzle setting: The horizontal setting should be used when spraying up and down and the vertical setting should be used when spraying across. To change the nozzle setting, turn the red section on the nozzle.
• Hold the can upright approximately 20cm from the surface.
• Press button firmly and spray with a smooth sweeping motion, overlapping each spray pass. To prevent paint from sagging, avoid spraying too close to the surface or applying a heavy coat.
• Repeat if necessary.
• When dry, leave 24 hours before using the surface.
• Condition the chalkboard prior to use by rubbing the side of a piece of chalk evenly over the entire surface then wipe off with duster.

Do not use when air or surface temperature is below 15°C or above 30°C or in excessive humidity. 

BRUSH ON APPLICATION

• Stir thoroughly with a broad flat stirrer in a circular lifting motion for at least 5 minutes before use and continue to stir at regular intervals during application.
• Apply 2 coats by brush or roller.

Do not use when air or surface temperature is below 15°C or above 30°C or in excessive humidity. 

AEROSOL: Approximately 1.5m² per can, depending on the nature of the surface and the amount of overspray.
