Preparation
Ensure Claircolle is within shelf-life period. All surfaces should be sound, dry, and free from dirt, oil, grease or other contamination. New lime plaster should be allowed to carbonate and dry for at least four weeks prior to application. Any fungus or mould must be treated with a fungicide and making good and filling should be carried out with a material appropriate to the substrate. It is recommended that trials are carried out to ensure that the surface is suitable for application.
Application
Method: One coat normally recommended. Apply by brush. Cannot be spray applied. Brushes and equipment should be cleaned with clean soapy water immediately after use. Thinning: Claircolle is temperature sensitive and will thicken in cold conditions. If paint has thickened, it can be returned to the correct consistency by placing in a warm room or standing the can in a bucket of hot water. Only if absolutely necessary dilute by no more than 10% (by volume) with clean water. Coverage: c. 10 m2/litre/coat on smooth surface of average porosity. Cleaning: Brushes and equipment should be cleaned with clean, fresh water immediately after use. Do not apply in temperatures below 5°C or above 25°C
