New wood: For soft wood, knotholes should be sealed with Little Greene Aluminum Wood Primer to prevent discoloration. Apply a diluted coat of Intelligent ASP followed by the recommended two coats of Intelligent Satinwood. Resin-rich hardwood must be cleaned and treated with Little Greene Aluminum Wood Primer (see relevant product data sheet for further information). After the Aluminum Wood Primer you should paint with Little Greene Intelligent ASP.

Before application, ensure the moisture content of the wood is below 15%. Damp wood should never be painted as this will cause bubbles,
Peeling, cracks and premature paint defects can occur.
Green oak should only be painted if it has been dried for at least 6 months.

Metals: Ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals should be cleaned manually or mechanically to remove any surface rust prior to applying Little Greene Intelligent ASP and two coats of Intelligent Satinwood.

Existing paint: Remove all loose and peeling paint. Degrease with a suitable cleaning solution such as lye and rinse
then with clean water. Then sand the surface with medium-grit sandpaper until it is grippy, smooth and free of defects, paying particular attention to areas where the paint has been removed. Make repairs, sand and apply sufficient Intelligent ASP to the exposed surface.

Stir thoroughly before use. Do not paint surfaces at temperatures below 8°C.

With the Brush: Use a high quality synthetic bristle brush in an appropriate size for the project. New brushes should be prepared by washing in clean water and carefully drying with a clean, lint-free cloth. Do not immerse the brush too deeply in the paint so that the paint does not get under the ferrule. Avoid drips and splashes by not picking up too much paint with the brush. Apply the paint in even strokes and only expand the area to be painted so that the edges remain wet at all times.

For the best results, make sure that all brush strokes end in the same direction and never paint over paint that has already started to dry.

With the roller: For best results on smooth surfaces, use a roller with a cover made of short-pile wool. For structured surfaces, choose a slightly longer pile to ensure an even and thorough application of paint. Make sure to make all roller strokes in the same direction at the end and to always keep the edges moist. Never paint over paint that has already dried, as this will result in unsightly transitions.

Spray painting:

Conventional
Dilute with up to: 5 – 10% water
Nozzle size: 1.14 to 2.00 mm (62 to 78 mil)
Air pressure: 0.28 to 0.41 MPa (40 to 60 psi)
Airless
Dilute with up to: 0 – 10% water
Nozzle size: 0.28 to 0.54 mm (11 to 21 mil)
Pressure at nozzle: 12.6 to 19.6 MPa (1800 to 2800 psi)

*These are recommended guidelines for nozzle size.

Remove excess paint and clean tools with clean water immediately after use. Never store brushes or roller covers in water as this will affect application performance.

Store unused paint in a cool, dry place away from frost and direct sunlight. Make sure the lid is securely and firmly placed back on the can after use. When unopened, this product is stable for at least two years under the conditions stated above.

Cleaning: For light dirt, use a diluted, lukewarm dishwashing detergent solution and a clean sponge or lint-free cloth. Make sure the sponge or cloth is well moistened (but not soaking wet) and gently wipe the affected area several times if necessary.

To prevent deposits from forming, always ventilate your home well when doing activities that can lead to the formation of oil or grease films (such as cooking). Remove when doing DIY. To prevent scratches, always use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment on adjacent surfaces.

Special Care: Do not place heavy objects on the surface for at least a week after painting. For bookshelves and other surfaces that are frequently used, a very thin layer of beeswax polish is recommended to prevent long-term damage.

Repair: Carefully sand the area to be repainted and apply a suitable primer to the exposed surface. Then paint the area from edge to edge in one or two coats. Repairs only to the surface usually lead to unsightly results.

Dispose of excess or unneeded paint through a licensed waste disposal company. Empty metal containers can be recycled (remove the plastic handle from 2.5L and 5L cans).

Always read the instructions on the can before use. Ensure good ventilation during application and drying. Further information can be found on the product safety data sheet.
