Specifications
Preparations
Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from grease, dirt, oil, wax, rust, all loose material and surface contamination. Use recommended Tikkurila products as cleaning agents and for mould removal. Use a recommended Tikkurila wet-room filler for filling cracks, nail holes, blemishes, etc., as well as for levelling uneven walls and ceilings. Ensure that existing glossy, gloss painted and filled surfaces are thoroughly flatted down. Ensure that all surfaces are thoroughly prepared.
Application
Methods: brush, roller or spray application. Thinning: when necessary, thin with water.
Painting conditions
All surfaces to be painted must be dry, the temperature of the air at least +10 deg. C, and the relative humidity of the air below 80%.
Painting
Stir the paint thoroughly and apply two coats of Luja Moisture Stop overall, allowing 2-4 hours between coats. Thin the first coat with water (one part Moisture Stop and one part water). When using Luja Moisture Stop in conjunction with glass-fibre wall coverings, the second coat of Moisture Stop should be applied on top of and overall the wall covering.
Coverage
4-8 m2/l per coat.The above should be used as a guide, as actual spreading rates will depend upon many factors including texture, porosity and application method.
Drying times
At 23 deg. C and 50% relative humidity of the air: normally touch-dry in 2 hours and recoatable after 4 hours.
Cleaning of tools
Clean with water immediately after use.
Prevent environmental damage
Empty cans should be recycled or disposed of in accordance with local regulations. Liquid waste should be destroyed according to the local regulations.
