How to paint surfaces exposed to high humidity

Perma-White® performs exceptionally in high humidity environments and prevents fungal degradation for a guaranteed 5 years.

Steps

1. Surface Preparation

All surfaces must be clean, dry and free from anything that will interfere with the adhesion of the materials to be applied. Remove loose material by scraping or brushing with a stiff bristle brush to a sound edge. Prior to painting, the moisture content should not exceed 12%. Remove all visible signs of organic growth and treat the areas with an efficient mould killer in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Allow to dry.

2. Cracks and Surface Defects

Fill any cracks and small surface defects with a suitable filler as appropriate in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Allow to dry. Rub down with a fine grade abrasive paper. Remove all dust.

3. Priming

Prime all over with one full coat of Bulls Eye® 1-2-3 Primer in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.

4. Decoration

Decorate with two full coats of Perma-White® Interior Matt or Satin in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Allow a minimum drying time of 2 hours between coats in normal drying conditions.
