Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting your project, ensure the room temperature is stable, ideally between 10C and 25C. For the best finish, begin by applying a Light Grey Primer and Undercoat; this creates a neutral foundation that allows the Myrtle Green pigments to reflect true color accuracy. When painting, stir the contents thoroughly to ensure consistent pigment distribution. If applying to surfaces that have been previously painted, lightly sand the area to improve adhesion. For maintenance, clean brushes immediately after use with appropriate cleaning agents recommended by the brand, and store the remaining paint in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent skinning.
