Line Marking

1. Prepare the floor and apply the first coat of Resene ProSelect in your desired finish.

2. Mask out the lines using a thin tape to help contour the surface and reduce potential of “under creep”. Resene recommends Washi tape. Ensure you rub it down in the direction of the grain

3. Using Resene Lumbersider (a low sheen acrylic available in thousands of colours) paint the line area. Use a high quality fine brush or roller and apply enough paint to achieve total coverage in one coat. Lay off quickly to reduce any tearing or drag marks.

4. Remove the tape while the paint is still wet to reduce stepped edges on the line.

5. Allow to thoroughly dry overnight and then apply top coats of Resene ProSelect in the gloss level of your choice.
