TOP COAT GUIDE
COVERAGE
- 575 g bag covers approximately 8–10 m² / 85–102 sq. ft. with one coat.
Coverage is approximate and may vary depending on surface absorption and application technique.
MIXING
Mix the contents of the bag with 900 ml of water to make approximately 1.2 L of Top Coat.
Mix only what you plan to use and preferably prepare the product on the day of application. Once mixed, store in an airtight container for up to 14 days. The powder can be stored sealed for up to 1 year.
APPLICATION
Apply Top Coat evenly with a brush, following the same brush direction or technique used for the Lime Paint underneath.
Apply thin, even coats. Applying too much product can create a white haze once dry.
Recommended room temperature during application: 15–25°C / 59–77°F.
Wait at least 72 hours after the final coat of Lime Paint before applying Top Coat. Remove all painter's tape before application.
HOW MANY COATS?
1 coat — Light protection
Provides some water resistance and is suitable for walls requiring minimal protection. Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
2 coats — Medium protection
Creates a more water-repellent surface and is suitable for areas requiring additional protection. Clean with a damp or slightly wet cloth.
3+ coats — High protection
For maximum water resistance, apply at least three coats, ensuring the entire surface is evenly covered. The surface can be cleaned with a wet cloth. We recommend drying the wall afterwards to help prevent streaks or water marks.
DRYING TIME BETWEEN COATS
- 1st coat: Apply at least 72 hours after the final Lime Paint coat.
- 2nd coat: Wait approximately 6–8 hours after the first coat, depending on humidity.
- 3rd coat and beyond: Allow approximately 24 hours between coats.
PLEASE NOTE
- Top Coat is intended for indoor use only.
- It is not suitable for permanently damp areas or areas exposed to heavy amounts of water, such as inside showers.
- Avoid exposure to frost or extreme heat.
- Top Coat may slightly deepen or warm the appearance of the Lime Paint color underneath.
- Top Coat improves resistance to everyday stains and moisture, but cannot provide protection against every type of stain, scratch, chemical or strongly colored substance.
