Tips for painting an effect wall with Tunto Hieno
• Sanding is a critical step when the surface is uneven. An uneven surface can result in the first layer of paint being visible, leading to an undesirable end result.
• It's important to apply the paint with crosswise moves. Common mistake is to make squares or straight lines. Paint irregular strokes instead.
• When painting large areas or high walls / pillars, prepare to paint together with a partner. When there is large area to be painted, more painters are needed to avoid visible overlapping areas.
• Higher room temperature will shorten the paint application time.
• For public areas like restaurants, extra protection with lacquer like Kiva 10 is highly recommended. Apply the lacquer in thin layer with a short pail lacquering roller in crosswise moves.
