Substrate preparationSubstrate preparation should be carried out in accordance with SP 71.13330.2017. Clean the substrate from dust and dirt. Remove unstable layers of old paint and whitewash from previously painted surfaces. Sand hard and firmly adhering glossy surfaces to a matte state, and remove the sanding dust.
Level irregularities, depressions, cracks, and chips with Bergauf putty, then sand.
Surfaces previously covered with chalk or lime paints must be thoroughly cleaned until completely removed. Highly absorbent surfaces should be pre-primed with Praktik strengthening primer for painting to increase coating reliability and reduce paint consumption.
Work procedureThe surface to be painted must be dry and clean. The air and substrate temperature during application should be from +5°C to +35
°C, relative air humidity below 80%.
Stir the paint thoroughly before use; the paint is ready for application.
To avoid differences in shade, use paint from the same batch. Before starting work, perform a test application on the surface to check for color consistency.
The maximum thickness of one layer is 2−3 mm; several layers can be applied depending on the desired decorative effect.
The material is applied with a roller, brush, sponge, stamp, spatula, or Venetian trowel, followed by texturing. It is important to note that the surface being painted must be covered from corner to corner across the entire area due to the difficulty of joining multiple layers after drying.
To achieve a "shuba" (textured coat) finish, the material is evenly distributed over the surface with a stainless steel trowel followed by structuring with a roller, or distributed directly with a roller; the same roller is then used to create the relief by moving it from top to bottom. The intensity of the relief depends on the number of passes during pattern formation. Use structural or paint rollers to achieve the desired relief.
Upon completion of work, wash hands and tools thoroughly with warm water.
Safety precautionsWork should be performed using personal protective equipment for hands, eyes, and respiratory tract. Use in well-ventilated areas. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with water. In case of contact with skin, wash with soap and water.
