For Cracks or holes with filler: 

• Spot prime repairs with Dulux 1Step® Prep Water Based Primer, Sealer & Undercoat.

• Lightly sand to a dull finish.

Brush, roller

1. Stir paint thoroughly with a flat paddle using an up-and-down scooping action. 

2. Cut-in around the edges with a brush, then roll up to the border whilst it is still wet. 

3. Apply two coats ensuring that the first coat is completely dry before applying the second.

Treating existing mould: Remove mould with Selleys® Rapid Mould Killer or by scrubbing with a scouring pad and bleach solution (one part bleach to three parts water). Leave solution on the surface for 15 minutes then wash with clean water and wipe dry. Several applications may be necessary to remove stubborn mould blooms.

Do not pour leftover paint down the drain. 

Unwanted paint should be brushed out on newspaper and allowed to dry, and then disposed of via domestic waste collections.
