How do you use Ultra Bond?

Ultra Bond is a powerful adhesion promoter designed to help Real Milk Paint grip difficult, non-porous surfaces. It is mixed directly into the liquid paint to create a stronger bond on challenging projects.

• Surface Preparation:
  • Cleaning: Thoroughly clean the surface to remove any wax, grease, or silicone residue. Using a non-residue cleaner (like TSP) ensures the surface is completely contaminant-free.
  • Scuffing: Lightly scuff or sand the surface. This creates "teeth" in the material, providing better mechanical adhesion for the paint to grab onto.
• Mixing the Product:
  • Paint First: Always mix your Real Milk Paint with water first according to its instructions. Do not add Ultra Bond to the dry powder; it must be added to the liquid paint once it is fully blended.
  • The Ratio: Mix 1 part Ultra Bond with 4 parts liquid milk paint (a 25% ratio). Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure the binder is evenly distributed.
• Application:
  • Applying the Coat: Use the enhanced paint mixture just as you would normal milk paint, applying it evenly with a brush, roller, or applicator.
  • Multiple Coats: While Ultra Bond is most critical for the first coat, you can add it to every subsequent coat for maximum adhesion and durability on particularly slick surfaces.
• Drying: Allow each coat to dry according to standard milk paint times. For the strongest bond, allow the finished project to dry for approximately 24 hours before heavy handling.
