PREPARING THE SURFACE
Wall surfaces:
- Make sure that the surface is thoroughly dried and aged. Resurface or consolidate using specific products if
necessary.
- If mould is present, treat the surface with COMBAT 222 detergent, code 4810222. Wash thoroughly with water and apply the COMBAT 333 restoration plaster, code 4810333.To protect the wall from mold formation add COMBAT 444 code 4810444 sanitizer to the product.
- Brush or wash to remove any efflorescence and any old peeling paint. Completely eliminate any raised layers of lime-based or tempera paints.
- Remove any dust, smog or other deposits by brushing.
- Level any irregularities in the surface and treat holes, cracks, crevices and gaps with TAMSTUCCO
9400006/9410110; sand putty and touch-ups with sandpaper.
- Use adequate sealants to seal any cracks.
- Smooth if necessary with RASAMIX 9440160 or with BETOMARC 9450150 or RASOMARC 9500150 according
to the type of support.
- On a clean, dry surface apply one coat of IDROFIS 4700006 acrylic water-based wall fixative or ATOMO
8840001 micronized solvent-free fixative.
- Apply 2 coats of DECORFOND 3880019 diluted at 30-35% with water, by brush or roller, in order to obtain an homogenous, ideal support for the application.
- On dry surfaces apply EASY_ART as described on applicative modalities.
Solid wood and plywood surfaces:
- Lightly sand to remove any raised wooden fibres.
- Remove any coats of old peeling paints and roughen all the previously painted surfaces.
- Remove any resin with a suitable diluent.
- Fill any imperfections with TAMSTUCCO 9400006 stucco or WALL STUCCO 9100019.
- On a clean and dry surface, apply 1-2 coats of UNIMARC FONDO UNIVERSALE series 335, white or coloured.
- Apply EASY_ART according to the application instructions.
- Be careful when treating tannin rich wood, such as chestnut, on which dark spots may appear.
Plastic (PVC):
- Sand the surface in order to coarsen it slightly.
- Remove any grease from the surface and clean with a suitable diluent.
- On a clean and dry surface, apply 1-2 coats of UNIMARC FONDO UNIVERSALE series 335, white or coloured.
- After at least 6 hours proceed with the application of the finishing product.
*(The dilution of the fixative and amounts to be applied depend on the absorption of the support surface, and must be determined through preliminary tests on the specific support surface - See the relevant technical data sheet).

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
- Air and support surface conditions:
Air temperature: Min. +8 °C / Max. +35 °C
Relative environmental humidity: <75%
Support surface temperature: Min. +5 °C / Max. +35 °C
Moisture level of the support surface: <10%
- Tools: short-bristle roller, brush, sponge.
- N. of coats: 2 coat.
- Diluting: 10% max with water.
Application Method:
- Distribute EASY_ART, on a dry base, with roller spreading the product evenly. Once the first coat has dried, apply another coat of EASY_ART with a brush or sponge depending on the final effect desired.
- Tools should be cleaned immediately after use using water.
- Indicative spreading rate: 4-6 sqm/l based on 2 coats on smooth surfaces featuring average absorption. We
recommend performing a field test on the specific support surface to determine yield.
