Preparation
- Old wall: remove all old, loose and flaking paint and clean. Then apply a stabilizing primer depending on the type of surface. When the primer is completely dry, apply a coat of PRIMER 600 (lightly tinted in a light gray shade) and after 6 hours at 20°C, proceed with the application of Klondike Light.
- New wall: clean (and if necessary, fill/fill) the surface you want to paint. Once dry, sand the surface and apply a coat of suitable primer. When the primer is completely dry, apply a coat of PRIMER 600 (lightly tinted in a light gray shade) and, after 6 hours at 20°C, proceed with the application of Klondike Light.
- Wood, glass, light alloys and painted iron: remove all grease from the surface and sand well, so that it is smooth and clean. Apply a coat of primer suitable for the specific type of surface and then apply a coat of PRIMER 600 (slightly tinted in a light grey shade). After 6 hours at 20°C, proceed with the application of Klondike Light.
- New iron (without preparation): remove all grease and any layers of rust from the surface and apply one coat (or more) of a suitable anti-rust treatment product. When this is completely dry, apply a coat of PRIMER 600 and, after 6 hours at 20°C, proceed with the application of Klondike Light.
Note: When the substrate is plasterboard, the surface must be completely smoothed, not just the joints and screws. It must then be primed with a suitable plasterboard primer and then the above preparation procedure must be followed.
Application
To create the colors shown in the catalog, carefully mix Klondike Light with the exact amount of COLORI pigment. To create the gold or silver effect, you should add GOLD G 100 or SILVER G 200 to the colored Klondike Light product.
- Classic effect (with spatula): apply Klondike Light with the PV43 stainless steel spatula, using uneven strokes of 15-30 cm in all directions, leaving a light and uneven coating of the product on the surface. After 5 – 6 hours at 20°C, apply a second coat of Klondike Light using the same method as the first coat (described previously). After about 30 minutes at 20°C, “work” by applying light pressure, using the PV43 stainless steel spatula, but without product, with crisscross (X) movements of about 15 – 20 cm in all directions so that the color particles break into smaller ones, thus forming light and shadow reflections.
- Classic effect (Brush + Spatula): the classic effect can also be achieved using the following application cycle. Dip the Klondike-PV 76 brush in the product, making sure it is well loaded, and apply Klondike Light using small strokes of 8-15 cm in all directions, with a movement from right to left and vice versa and from bottom to top and vice versa, leaving a light layer of product, which is unevenly distributed. After about 20 minutes at 20°C, use the PV43 stainless steel spatula (without product) to smooth the decorated surface, moving in all directions. After about 5 – 6 hours at 20°C, apply a second coat of Klondike Light, using the same technique as for the first coat. After about 1 hour at 20°C, “work” by applying light pressure, using the PV43 stainless steel spatula, but without product, with crisscross (X) movements of about 15 – 20 cm in all directions so that the paint particles break into smaller ones, thus forming light and shadow reflections.
- Brush effect: dip the Klondike-PV 76 brush into the product, making sure it is well loaded, and apply Klondike Light using short strokes of 8-15 cm in all directions, moving from right to left and vice versa, and from bottom to top and vice versa, leaving a light layer of the product that is unevenly distributed. After 5 – 6 hours at 20°C, apply a second layer of Klondike Light, using the same technique as for the first layer. After about 1 hour at 20°C, “work” with light pressure, using the Klondike brush, but without product, with crisscross (X) movements of about 15 – 20 cm in all directions so that the color particles break into smaller ones, thus forming light and shadow reflections.
- STARRY CLASSIC EFFECT: For a special sparkling finish, simply add the G 300 additive to Klondike Light (with or without the Gold G 100 or Silver G 200) in the proportions of the color chart.
