Uses
Earthborn Eggshell No.17 is suitable for use on interior wood – doors, window frames, furniture, shelving, skirting boards and other smooth planed wood. N.B. Earthborn Eggshell No.17 is not recommended for floors or other heavy-duty surfaces.
Coverage: Approximately 14m2 per litre. Actual coverage will depend upon absorbency of the surface and method of application.
Drying times: The product is touch-dry in 1-2 hours. Allow 6-12 hours between coats. Due to the rapid drying rate of Earthborn Eggshell, care needs to be taken to work in a logical manner so as not to ‘over-brush’ or ‘lay off’ areas already painted. Particular care needs to be taken when painting large flat areas or panels.
Preparation
For best results do not apply in temperatures below 8oC. Wood surfaces should be prepared with Earthborn Multi Purpose Primer and lightly sanded prior to application. Previously painted surfaces should be sanded to provide a key, and then prime with Earthborn Multi Purpose Primer. Loose or flaking material must be removed with a brush or scraper. Defective wood should be repaired, exuding resin removed and knots treated with a proprietary knotting solution.
Application
Stir thoroughly before use. For best results apply two coats of undiluted Eggshell No.17. Give a light sanding between coats. Earthborn Eggshell No.17 can be applied by brush, roller or spray gun.
Cleaning
Remove as much Earthborn Eggshell No.17 as possible from tools before cleaning with warm, soapy water.
