Use prior to the application of Dulux Trade Metalshield Quick Dry Metal Primer

To get the best results, ensure surfaces to be painted are sound, clean and dry.

• New surfaces in particular must be fully dry.
• The surface should also be free from all defective or poorly adhering material such as dirt, grease and wax. Degrease where necessary with a suitable oil and grease remover. Rinse with clean water to remove residues.

Note: Special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1960s paint surfaces over wood and metal as they may contain harmful lead.

We recommend to always perform a test patch to ensure you are happy with the finished results.

• Apply the solution with a brush only. This product is not suitable for spraying
• Brush the surface with a liberal coating of Dulux Trade Mordant Solution and allow it to dry.
• The surface should turn black overall. If it fails to do so, this indicates that the surface has been contaminated or it has been previously treated with a factory applied pre-treatment. If this happens, rinse the surface thoroughly and rub down with a suitable abrasive paper to remove all previous residues. Apply another coat of mordant solution.
• Be sure to avoid over application, as this will cause pooling, resulting in a desposit of copper.
• After applying the solution, rinse the surface thoroughly and allow to dry completely before applying a primer

Note: Always follow the manufacturers instructions found on the tin
