How to use Jubilee Paint
Prep
The Jubilee formula is designed to eliminate most of the prep work. However, all painting must include some prep especially when upcycling older pieces.

Make sure to thoroughly clean your piece to eliminate debris and old product build up.
Furniture polish, varnishes and waxes are barrier products, so those must be removed to ensure proper adhesion of paint. It is best to clean surfaces with a cleaner that does not include any oil or essential oils, such as sugar soap. Sugar soap or equivalent will remove mildew, smoke, product build up, and more.
Sand out any imperfections if necessary, but Jubilee will fill in minor scratches. In some cases, high-gloss surfaces like glass, laminate, glazed tile, etc. may need a primer for better adhesion. However, our CC-22 formula is made with an innovative resin technology that allows for superior adhesion to most surfaces.
Paint
Stir (don't shake) paint pots before using to mix pigment fully. Apply Jubilee in thin, even strokes using a brush, roller, or sponge of your choice. A coarser brush and high pile roller will cause brush marks to be more visible. Use a brush with finer fibre filaments or a foam roller for a smoother, more even finish.
Dry
Jubilee is typically touch dry within one hour and fully cured within 12-24 hours. Drying times can vary depending on certain surfaces and weather conditions. Unlike chalk paint, Jubilee doesn’t require waxing after drying.
And that’s it! Celebrate creating and get painting with Jubilee
