Frequently Asked Questions
Why use sugar soap before painting?
Sugar soap removes grease dirt and grime that stop paint bonding properly. Spray wipe and rinse walls ceilings and woodwork before painting or wallpapering and the new finish grips evenly instead of crawling or peeling later.
What is the difference between white spirit and turps substitute?
Both thin oil based paints and clean brushes with turps substitute being the general purpose economy option. Our low odour versions of each make indoor decorating far more pleasant while doing the same cleaning and thinning jobs.
How do I remove old silicone sealant?
Cut away the bulk then apply sealant remover gel by brush. The fast acting formula breaks down cured acrylic and silicone on tiles glass and painted surfaces so the residue scrapes away cleanly ready for fresh sealant.
What grade of wire wool should I use?
Fine steel wire wool keys and smooths wood and metal before lacquers varnishes and paints without deep scratches. Save coarse wire brushes and nylon stripping discs for heavy rust scale and old coating removal.
