Description

Duralex SUN MASTER Low Sheen is a tough 100% Acrylic house paint specially formulated to protect against the harsh Australian climate. As well as containing Zinc Oxide and other U.V. blockouts, it is better able to expand with heat and contract when cold, than ordinary paints. Duralex SUN MASTER Low Sheen can be applied directly to a prepared surface without the need of a primer or undercoat. In such areas an additional coat of Duralex SUN MASTER Low Sheen will increase its durability and provide additional opacity on previously unpainted surfaces.
APAS APPROVAL No. #0280/3

COLOURS
Available in White and Tint Bases which are compatible with all major tinting systems. Tinter, if added, should be shaken or stirred in thoroughly immediately after addition. Ready mixed colours include: – Brunswick Green, Mission Brown and Black.

USES
Weatherboard, timber decking, pergolas, picket fences, rails, plasterboard, particleboard, MDF, galvanised iron and other rust resisting metals, fibro and masonry. It is not recommended for contact surfaces such as windows, doors or trim, furniture, shelves or wrought iron. These are best painted with turps-thinned enamel.

SURFACE PREPARATION
The surfaces to be painted must be sound, clean, dry, rust resisting and free from dust, chalky paint, dirt, mould and grease. Rub off loose sand from cement render with a block of timber and sweep clean.

Previously Painted Surfaces
Before recoating previously painted surfaces, ensure that the surface is sound. Test at random for its ability to withstand extra coats. Simply cut a small cross (x) through the paint with a razor blade, then place a piece of sticky tape firmly over the cut. If the tape pulls the surface away, the surface is unsound. Test different areas before deciding whether or not the surface coating should be removed. Unsound surfaces should be stripped before repainting to achieve the best results. Fill cracks and holes with an appropriate filler.

Timber
Prepare as above. Sand weathered timber back to clean sound wood and dust down. Fill imperfections with a suitable filler, sand smooth and dust down. When brushing new timber, apply in the direction of the grain, paying attention to end grain so that it receives liberal coating. Green decking timber should be allowed to season prior to painting.

APPLICATION
APPLY 2 COATS ON PREVIOUSLY PAINTED SURFACES AND 3 ON UNPAINTED SURFACES, FOR MAXIMUM DURABILITY.
Stir thoroughly using a lifting motion. To ensure best performance, do not use any additive not approved by Duralex. Brushing is recommended over previously unpainted timber. Pre-moisten brushes and rollers with water, shaking off excess. Do not allow paint to dry on brush or roller for a smoother, nib-free job. Up to 100mL of water per Litre may be added if difficulties in application are experienced outside in hot weather.

WEATHER CONDITIONS
Surface temperature must be above 10°C and not over 35°C during application. Allow at least 2 hours drying before dew, fog or rain. Follow shade around the house in hot weather.

CLEAN UP
Wash all equipment with clean water. Any dried spots maybe removed using methylated spirits.

CAUTION
Allow adequate ventilation when painting indoors during and after use to dissipate water vapour.
