Following preparation of substrates (as previously outlined) Pentimento is applied as follows: Pentimento should be applied directly from the tin by brush in random pattern. Two coats are required. Care should be taken to maintain a wet edge across each surface as joining wet to dry will show lapping.

Allow overnight dry between coats.

Clean up in water.

Coverage

6-8 sq.m per litre per coat (subject to surface).

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Paint Application

Wet/dry lapping will show as a distinct mark, therefore care should be taken to maintain a wet edge across each surface, joining only at natural divisions such as corners. Re-touching of Pentimento will show as a distinct patch and unless a consistent patched effect is required, re-touching should be avoided.

Colour & Tinting

It is the responsibility of the contractor to ensure colour consistency. It is recommended that sufficient material to complete the project be ordered where possible to eliminate possible colour variation. Where this is not practicable, sufficient material to complete an elevation should be ordered.

Temperature

Pentimento should not be applied where the surface or air temperature is below 10°C or above 35°C.

Initial Protection

Adequate protection should be provided against rain and sub-zero temperatures for a period of no less than 24 hours after application. Protection against mechanical abrasion should be provided for at least seven days after application. In colder temperatures (below 15°C) protect from rain for a minimum of 48 hours is advised.
