    • Cut-in using a sash brush around the edges. 
    • Apply one coat of Dulux® Renovation Range Primer with a microfibre roller – 4mm nap, 100mm wide.
    • Allow to dry for at least eight hours.
  3. 3

    Apply Dulux Renovation Range Top Coat

    • Add all of the additive, found underneath the lid, to the Dulux® Renovation Range Floors topcoat (featured colour: Dulux Vivid White™).
    • Stir well using a lifting motion for 2–5 minutes.
    • Cut-in using a sash brush around the edges. 
    • Coat the surface using a 4mm nap, 100mm wide microfibre roller.
    • Apply at least two coats, allowing at least eight hours before re-coating.
