BioDomus II can be applied with a brush, roller, or sprayer like any traditional paint. You will want tape, drop cloths, ladders or other items to prepare the surface and painting area. Get a separate mixing bucket to dilute with water before usage.
Mixing With Water
Romabio Paints require water to be added prior to usage. Why?
- Allows for a cleaner product by not having to add toxic stabilizers, and
- Reduces our carbon footprint by up to 40%.
Mixing with water or diluting the product with water is as simple as pouring the concentrated paint into a separate, clean mixing bucket, adding the amount of water listed below (dilution rate), then using a paddle drill or a spatula to mix thoroughly. You should mix for 3 – 5 minutes until there is uniform consistency with no standing water. The dilution rate varies by product type. See the amount to dilute for your product on the back label.
BioDomus II Dilution Rate - 10% for Dark Colors, 25% for Lighter Colors
Prime the Surface
Properly prepare the surface and use the Recommended Primers for your surface type. Masonry surfaces should be damp prior to the application of 1st coat. More details can be found on the previous tab, product TDS, or on the back of the bucket.
Paint your Walls
Start painting and give enough drying time in between coats, approximately 4 – 8 hours for BioDomus II. Two coats are recommended for most applications.
