Preparation
How to Prepare Surfaces for Hemway Exterior Acrylic Water-Based Eco Paint
To prepare exterior surfaces for Hemway Exterior Acrylic Water-Based Eco Paint, follow these steps to ensure a clean, smooth, and properly primed surface:
Step 1: Clean the Surface
-
Dirt and debris: Use a broom or brush to remove loose dirt, dust, cobwebs, and other debris from the surface. Wash the area with a mixture of water and mild detergent, especially for outdoor walls, fences, and masonry surfaces like brick and stone.
-
Moss or algae: Clean areas with moss, mould, or algae using a pressure washer or a solution of water and bleach (one part bleach to three parts water). Rinse thoroughly afterwards.
-
Old paint: Scrape off any peeling or flaking paint. For stubborn areas, use a paint scraper or wire brush.
Step 2: Repair the Surface
-
Fill cracks and holes: Use a high-quality exterior filler to repair cracks, holes, and imperfections. Make sure the filler is suitable for outdoor use and compatible with Hemway Exterior Acrylic Water-Based Eco Paint. Once dry, sand the area smooth.
-
Loose or damaged areas: Remove any loose material or crumbling surfaces. If necessary, patch damaged sections, especially on wood, brick, or concrete.
Step 3: Sand the Surface
- Lightly sand the repaired areas or any rough surfaces to ensure they are smooth and even. This helps Hemway Exterior Acrylic Water-Based Eco Paint adhere better. For glossy surfaces, use fine-grit sandpaper to lightly 'scuff' the area to improve adhesion.
Step 4: Prime the Surface
- Apply a suitable exterior primer, especially on porous, unpainted, or repaired areas. This helps to ensure even coverage and better adhesion of Hemway Exterior Acrylic Water-Based Eco Paint.
- Allow the primer to dry completely before applying the paint. Follow the drying time instructions on the primer can.
Step 5: Ensure a Smooth Finish
- After the primer has dried, inspect the surface for any remaining imperfections. Lightly sand the primed areas if needed and remove any dust or debris before painting.
Step 6: Protect and Prepare the Area
- Cover surrounding plants, grass, outdoor furniture, and fixtures with protective sheeting or drop cloths. Use painter’s tape on edges, trim, windows, and doors to create sharp, clean lines and protect adjacent surfaces from splashes.
Application
How to Apply Hemway ",Duck Egg Blue Exterior Acrylic Water-Based Eco Paint
For the best results when applying Hemway Duck Egg Blue Exterior Acrylic Water-Based Eco Paint, follow these detailed steps:
Step 1: Shake the Paint Tin
- Before opening, shake the paint tin thoroughly to ensure the contents are well mixed.
- Once opened, stir the paint for at least two minutes using a stir stick or spatula to achieve a uniform consistency.
Step 2: Apply the Paint
- Using a brush or roller, apply Hemway Exterior Acrylic Water-Based Eco Paint in thin, even coats for a smooth finish.
- For the best results, use a criss-cross motion when applying the paint to spread it evenly across the surface.
- Start with edges, corners, and trims, and then move on to larger surfaces like walls, fences, or masonry surfaces like brick and stone.
Step 3: Allow Each Coat to Dry
- Let the first coat dry for approximately two hours before applying a second coat. Drying times may vary depending on weather conditions.
- If needed, lightly sand the dried surface between coats to ensure a smoother final result.
- For areas exposed to extreme weather conditions, it’s recommended to apply Hemway Clear Lacquer for added protection after the final coat has dried. The lacquer should be applied only in very dry, moisture-free conditions to ensure optimal adhesion and long-lasting durability.
Step 4: Add Glitter for a Unique Finish (Optional)
- If desired, you can mix Hemway Glitter Paint Additive into Hemway Exterior Acrylic Water-Based Eco Paint for a dazzling, glittery effect.
