Painting technique

To ensure the surface with maximum adhesion, it should be sanded beforehand. The surface of the floor and walls that have been exposed to moisture must be thoroughly dried for at least 3 days. After perfect drying, be sure to apply the primer mix.

Please note that at the very end you should apply a paint and varnish composition, to which you can add glitter if desired for maximum decorative effect. Last but not least, a slightly dried paint layer must be varnished.
