The surface to be painted must be dry, solid and clean. It should be coated with a layer of light coloured wall paint before one or several coats of Taika Glow are painted on top.

Aim to make the surface as smooth as possible and try to apply the Taika Glow evenly throughout the whole surface. Use masking tape and remove the tape immediately after painting. A stronger glow effect can be achieved with a two-coat (or several) treatment. Taika Glow surface can be protected with e.g. Parketti-Ässä Floor Lacquer or Kiva Furniture Lacquer. Note! Verify the success of the treatment in the dark. |
