Application

All loose, flaking and unstable material must be identified and then thoroughly removed, all surfaces must be thoroughly washed down with clean cold water to remove all surface dirt and dust. When all surfaces are clean, sound, wind dry, dust free and free from all surface contaminants, decoration using Keim Mineral Paints may proceed.

Pre-Fixing
Highly absorbent or sanding substrates require a colourless pre-fixing treatment with undiluted Keim Restauro Fixativ.

Finishing coat (Keim Restauro Lasur)
A low-pigment finishing coat may be applied, depending on the desired finish, using Keim Restauro Lasur diluted with Keim Restauro Fixativ. A typical specification would be a two coat Keim Restauro Lasur system, the first coat to be Keim Restauro Fixativ, applied by brush and worked well into all surfaces. After a minimum period of 12 hours a final coat of Keim Restauro Lasur may be applied, again diluted to the required level with Keim Restauro Fixativ.
