INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Pre-treatment: The surface must be clean and dry. Clean with Gjøco Interior Wash or Gjøco Floor Cleaner. Follow the instructions for use on the packaging. Previously painted surfaces, MDF, and hard, smooth surfaces should be sanded down and wiped clean.
Application
For use on lightly discolored and yellowed substrates, apply 1–2 coats of Gjøco Knot and Barrier Primer. To remove knot bleed-through and on heavily discolored surfaces, apply 2 coats. On substrates where a smooth and even surface is required, it is recommended to use a suitable brush for leveling. When using on tiles, plastic, and other glossy surfaces, check adhesion by performing a test coat.
Cleaning of painting tools:
All painting tools must be clean and free from other paint residues and the like before use. All tools must be cleaned well with clean water immediately after use. This applies especially when using airless sprayers. Flush through large amounts of water before and after use to ensure the sprayer is completely clean. Gjøco Knot and Barrier Primer can cause corrosion on metal that is not stainless.
Storage
Close the lid tightly during paint storage to prevent spills and drying out. The paint should be transported and stored upright, dry, and frost-free.
Waste disposal:
Paint in liquid form should not be poured into drains or nature, but taken to a recycling station for hazardous waste.
OTHER INFORMATION
Gjøco Knot and Barrier Primer is ready for use and should normally not be thinned. Stir before use. To avoid cracking along panel joints due to changes in humidity, it is recommended that the panel boards are treated before installation. Alternatively, the panel can be treated in winter when humidity is normally at its lowest.
