Description
Macpherson Mid Sheen Emulsion Paint is a washable emulsion that is suitable for interior use. Soft Sheen emulsion is a decorative coating providing a low sheen finish for use on walls and ceilings. Washable products are ideal for medium traffic areas living rooms, bedrooms. It can be applied to coated plaster surfaces without thinning. On new plaster, it is ideal to use a thinned first coat of matt emulsion or contract emulsion as a priming coat, prior to finishing with soft sheen emulsion.
New Surfaces
All surfaces must be sound, clean, suitably dry and free from anything that will interfere with the adhesion of the materials to be applied. Powdery, polished plaster or dense surfaces should be primed with Macpherson Universal Primer. Porous surfaces should be ‘mist’ coated with Macpherson Mid Sheen thinned with up to 20%
clean water.
Previously Decorated Surfaces
All surfaces must be suitably dry, and free from anything that will interfere with the adhesion of the materials to be applied eg dirt, grease etc. Remove all loose, and failing or suspect paint. Feather edges of sound paint. Remove all dust. Organic growth must be removed and the areas treated with a Fungicidal Solution. Fill any fixing holes, cracks and shallow surface defects with Ready Mixed Filler. Wash remaining sound paint with hot water and liquid detergent solution to remove any contaminants, frequently changing the water. Any glossy or
eggshell surfaces should be wet abraded to provide a key. Rinse with clean water to remove all residues. Allow to dry. If after cleaning any areas are still contaminated with substances likely to cause staining and/or bleeding, patch prime with one coat of Zinsser BIN or Blockade.
