This 250ml Frosted Lake tester pot serves as a crucial tool for color evaluation on your home's exterior. Apply it to a small, representative section of your masonry, such as render, brick, or concrete, to observe how the 'Frosted Lake' blue appears under various natural light conditions (morning, midday, evening). This allows you to assess the color accuracy and its compatibility with your home's existing features, landscaping, and surrounding environment before committing to a larger purchase. The paint's unique high-performance acrylic resin and micro-porous breathable film are present even in this tester quantity, giving you a glimpse of the durable, protective qualities and the smooth finish you can expect from the full product. Ensure you test on a clean, dry, and sound surface for the most accurate representation. Use a small brush to apply an even patch.
Prepare the Surface: Ensure the small area of masonry where you intend to test the color is clean, dry, and free from any loose material, dirt, or old flaking paint. A clean surface ensures accurate color representation and proper adhesion.
Stir Thoroughly: Open the pot and stir the paint well using a stick until it's consistently mixed.
Apply Test Patch: Using a small brush, apply an even coat to an inconspicuous section of your exterior wall. Allow it to dry completely and observe the color under different lighting conditions throughout the day.
Surfaces: This paint is specifically formulated for exterior masonry surfaces, including render, brick, concrete, and roughcast. It is not suitable for wood, metal, or interior use.
Conditions: Apply in dry conditions, avoiding extreme heat or cold. Info needed: Specific temperature and humidity guidelines for optimal application.
Storage: Store the tester pot in a cool, dry, frost-free place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out.
