Overview

Dulux Quick Dry Eggshell is an easy to use, quick drying, non-drip paint with a low sheen, perfect if you’re looking for something in between a matt and a mid sheen satinwood finish. The Eggshell is a more subtle alternative to satinwood and not as flat as matt. It touch dries in an hour and is ready to re-coat after 6 hours. No need for an undercoat, it’s self-undercoating, making it easier than ever to apply. Quick Dry Eggshell is suitable for use on interior wood and metal.

Preparation

Make sure that the area you are painting is clean, dry and free from grease.

• If you are painting radiators, make sure that they are not warm

• Thoroughly rub down previously painted surfaces, ensure to remove any loose or flaking paint

• Remove or seal any previous oil/ solvent based finishes, a product such as Zinsser B-I-N would ensure adhesion and seal any knots

• Treat knots with an appropriate knotting solution

Application

Before you start, stir the paint thoroughly in the tin to ensure that it's completely mixed. Test a small area to be sure you’re happy with the finished results.

• Apply two even coats with a roller or synthetic brush

• Leave at least 6 hours before applying the second coat

• If it's cold and damp, leave longer than 6 hours between coats

• Use a synthetic brush for best results

• Newly painted doors and windows should not be closed and radiators should not be heated until the paint is completely dry

Aftercare & Storage

Store the paint in a cool, dry paint and protect it from extremes of temperature
