1. Preparation
Dulux Renovation Range Tiles & Benchtops require a clean surface to adhere to. All grease and dirt contamination must be removed or the paint will not adhere and will peel or flake off.
On all surfaces cleaning is the most important step. IMPORTANT: Do not use abrasive cleaning detergents.
Scrub down all areas with Selleys® Sugar Soap and rinse with clean water to remove any dirt, oil or grease, including from grout lines. Use a plastic scouring pad on heavily contaminated surfaces.
Repeat this process using clean water, at least twice.
Completely remove any loose and flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes with a suitable hard epoxy-based filler such as Selleys® Knead-IT® Aqua.
Sand glossy and semi gloss finishes to a dull flat finish using p400 paper before coating.
Use a clean damp cloth to remove any dust.
Thoroughly clean surface using Selleys® Rapid Mould Killer™ and remove all silicone sealant from joints using Selleys® Silicone Remover.
Use a stainless steel wool pad to lightly abrade laminate surfaces.
Mask using a good quality painters tape.
For the best quality finish, do not skip preparation cleaning. Wash extra dirty or mouldy tiles twice to ensure finish.
2. Mixing
Add all of the additive found underneath the blue lid to the primer first. When finished priming, repeat the process with the topcoat. Stir well for approximately 2-5 minutes with a broad flat paddle, using an up and down scooping action until the additive is completely mixed into the primer or the paint. Once mixed the primer is suitable to use for up to three days. The topcoat once mixed is suitable for up to 10 days.

FAQs
Yes, provided that the area where Renovation Range is intended to be used on is covered and will not be subjected to direct rain and weather. The Renovation Range products are based on UV resistant and water-resistant resins. As such they are capable of resisting undercover outside exposure.
Typically, benchtops in the kitchens, bathrooms and laundries we expect Renovation Range to be used on benchtops made from laminate. However, if they are made from tiles or natural stone – other than marble – they can be coated.
The Renovation Range products are NOT scratch proof but have good wear character that develops over a period of days.
It is important not to use knives or other instruments to cut, smash or otherwise impact the surface during preparation of food. These activities should always be done on a separate cutting board or similar.
Where possible, “lift and locate” heavy items on benchtops coated with Renovation Range to avoid pushing them across the surface and potentially causing a scratch.
Mask stoves, dishwashers and other appliances with smooth painter’s tape. Be diligent about pressing in the edge to ensure none of the coating will bleed through. Place drop cloths over surfaces not to be coated especially floors.
