How to Paint Interior Mildew Areas

All surfaces must be clean, dry and free from anything that will interfere with the adhesion of the materials to be applied. Remove loose and failing material by scraping or brushing with a stiff bristle brush to a sound edge. Feather sound edges with a fine grade abrasive paper. Remove all visible signs of organic growth and treat the areas with Zinsser Mould Killer in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Allow to dry.

In areas with remaining sound paint wash clean down with Zinsser Universal Cleaner & Degreaser to remove any contaminants. Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove all residues. Allow to dry. Fill any cracks and small surface defects with a suitable filler as appropriate in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Allow to dry. Rub down with a fine grade abrasive paper. Remove all dust.

Prime all areas to be decorated with one full coat of B-I-N® primer sealer. Allow a minimum drying time of 45 minutes in normal drying conditions.

For a water-based, low odour alternative to B-I-N®, use B-I-N® AQUA.
B-I-N® AQUA has the same performance advantages as B-I-N with easy soap and water clean-up and Trace VOCs.

Decorate with two full coats of PermaWhite® in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Allow a minimum drying time of two hours between coats.
