Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best finish with Bamboozle, ensure surfaces are cleaned, sanded, and primed according to the specific base product used (e.g., Casein Distemper or Eggshell). Always follow the manufacturer's guidance regarding undercoat requirements to maintain the depth of the red pigment. When storing, ensure the lid is sealed tightly to prevent skinning. Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm soapy water for water-based variants. If you are mixing finishes—such as using Casein Distemper for walls and Modern Eggshell for trim—always perform a test swatch to confirm the color consistency across different textures.
