General

 

• Water based

 

• Suitable for interior use only

 

• Chalk and mineral paint formulated for wooden furniture and laminate

 

• Suitable for walls – in which case thinning with up to 10% tap water is advised

 

• Minimal VOC content with virtually no odour

 

• UKCA and EN71-3 certified (safe for use on children’s toys) EN71-3:2019+A1:2021

 

• Ingredients: Chalk, Clay, Titanium Dioxide, Resin, Talcum, Preservative, Wax

 

• Self-priming - no primer or undercoat required

 

• Self-levelling - meaning little to no brush marks is achievable

 

• Self-sealing - does not require a top coat for durability

 

• Finish - soft, low sheen

 

 

 

Coverage

 

• A 750ml tin will provide a coat of up to 12.5m2. For a durable finish, a minimum of 2 coats is required, so your 750ml tin should provide full coverage for just over 6m2 on non-porous surfaces like laminate or metal.

 

• Always ensure you have enough paint for your whole project. When more than 1 tin of the same colour is needed, it is good practice to ensure batch numbers are identical or to intermix batches prior to commencing painting.

 

• Porous, or ‘thirsty’ surfaces like bare wood or MDF, tend to absorb paint meaning additional coats are likely to be required to achieve a durable finish. In this case, your 750ml tin will provide less than 6m2 of full coverage. If you apply the paint too thinly, durability may be affected.

 

 

 

Preparation

 

• Ensure surfaces are in suitable condition for painting - clean, dry, free from wax, grease or penetrating substances and in sound condition. If previously painted, remove loose or flaking paint.

 

• Surface preparation required in addition to the above – clean with Frenchic Sugar Soap, rinse and dry thoroughly. Hand-sand sufficiently to abrade the surface. Wipe off any dust, paint away!

 

• Take care on opening the tin lid – a Frenchic tin opener is recommended.

 

• Stir thoroughly with a wide implement, such as a Paint Paddle, prior to each use.

 

 

 

Application, drying and curing (hardening)

 

• Apply with a good quality brush or a roller. Also suitable for spraying - thin with up to 15% tap water and apply additional coat(s).

 

• To allow self-levelling, avoid overworking the paint

 

• Allow a minimum of 1 hour between coats (even if the paint feels touch dry).

 

• Curing (hardening) time is 2-3 weeks in normal conditions. Treat gently until curing is complete.

 

 

 

Clean up and storage

 

• Reseal tin after use. Clean up any spills immediately with water. Wash brushes in warm, soapy water.

 

• Do not store where the tin could be subjected to damp, frost, freezing or high temperatures.

 

 

 

Advice for choosing colours

 

We make every effort to match our online colour swatches to the paint but colours can vary depending on a number of factors, including screen settings. This means that we cannot guarantee the paint will exactly match what you see on screen. Please order a colour chart, small tin or sample sachet (where available).
