FROM PREPARATION TO FINISH

Your project sequence.

Use this as a planning guide. The chosen product’s technical instructions determine preparation, application and timing.

01

Check the paint label

Use the cleaning method specified for the coating and applicator. Water-based and solvent-based products may need different cleaners.

02

Recover usable coating

Return clean usable paint to its container where appropriate. Remove excess coating from the applicator before cleaning.

03

Clean with the approved method

Use the recommended cleaner and work gently through bristles or roller fibres. Follow the cleaner’s handling and disposal directions.

04

Restore the shape

Remove excess liquid and reshape brush bristles. Avoid damaging the ferrule or crushing the roller fibres.

05

Dry and store properly

Let the tool dry using the applicator maker’s instructions. Store brushes in their keeper or a suitable cover, and protect roller covers.

06

Keep a useful record

Label leftover coating with the room, colour and date. Store paint as directed and dispose of cleaning residues through the appropriate local service.
