Paint is a material that protects, beautiful and, unless it is a clear finish, hides the surface to which it is applied. The performance of paint depends on several factors such as the prevailing weather, condition of the surface, tools used and the ability to maintain the workability of the paint under adverse conditions. Ideally around 20 Celsius and no wind. As it gets hotter or windy, paint will dry quicker, more thinner is required and as this evaporates, the drying time is speeded up again resulting in clogged brushes, uneven coats, brush and lap marks. Every time thinner is added to a paint it destroys some of the inherent qualities of the paint and speeds up chalking and fading. Surface are often chalky, dusty, porous or smooth and slippery such as on plastics, ceramics, or glass. In each case time consuming and often costly preparation is required before painting can commence. Otherwise paint will not stick. Cheap and poor quality brushes and rollers will not give good results as they produce and uneven coating and tend to splatter, drip and often lose bristles. Maintaining good flow and even coverage of paint is important for good job results. Thinner do what they say-they thin the paint and thereby weaken the paint film often resulting in early cracking and flaking of the coating as well as accelerating chalking, particularly where cheaper paints are used. The Flood Company offers products which eliminate these and other problems. On the following pages you paint with see how simple it is to get an excellent finish whenever you paint with a minimum of fuss. Even on previously unpaintable surfaces. Paint needs a key to hold onto glossy surfaces. Sanding, etching or deglossing destroys fine finishes irreversably. One application of ESP cleans the surface and leaves a strong bonding film to which paint or varnish will adhere firmly. Wipe it on-wipe it off. Paint 2 hours later. Enamel, glass, ceramics, laminex and even tiles. The paint will stick every time... guaranteed.
