KOLIBRI SAND

Clean new surfaces from dust and dirt. For smoothing of irregularities in the surface choose a suitable stopper from the SILORA series. The dried stopper is sanded down and the dust removed. Building board and stopper surfaces are primed with BIORA 3 Primer. Solid mineral surfaces, such as brick and concrete surfaces, can be treated directly with KOLIBRI SAND. Rusting steel surfaces are primed with FERREX AQUA Anticorrosive paint. Wash dirty previously painted surfaces with RENSA SUPER paint cleaner. Matt down hard and/or gloss surfaces by sanding and thereafter remove the dust. For smoothing of irregularities in the surface choose a suitable stopper from the SILORA series. The dried stopper is sanded down and the dust removed.

Stir KOLIBRI SAND thoroughly before use to ensure correct rolling and patterning properties. The coating can be diluted with water, if needed. Apply the coating by paint roller, brush or steel spatula. Pattern the surface freely with e.g. fancy roller, comb, paintbrush, brush or rubber spatula. Treat the surface that is to be coated continuously in order to avoid working joints: apply and pattern the coating without interruption in such areas or stripes that the coating doesn´t dry during the application. Surface treated with KOLIBRI SAND can be overcoated with Teknos interior paints, e.g. paints from BIORA series, if the colour is wished to be changed or the durability to be improved.

The surface to be coated must be dry. The temperature of the ambient air, the surface and the coating shall be above +10 °C and the relative air humidity below 80 % during the application and drying period. Good ventilation during the application and drying period quickens the drying process.

The final forming of the paint film takes abt. 4 weeks under normal circumstances and after that the ultimate durability and hardness is reached. Before this the painted surface must be treated with care. The painted surface can be cleaned by light wiping. Use a damp cleaning cloth, soft sponge or similar for cleaning. Avoid coarse brushing or heavy abrasion.

Must be stored tightly closed and kept cool. MUST NOT FREEZE.
