“GALVO” ROOF PAINT DIRECTIONS FOR USE. NEW GALVANISED IRON:— See that the surface is first treated with a coat of slaked limcwash, to be allowed to dry for a day or two and then thoroughly brushed off. This treatment will help to kill the acid in the iron and will enable the paint to adhere to the surface. It is advisable, however, to allow new iron to weather for site months before painting. GALVANISED IRON AND ALL STEEL SURFACES: — Rub down surface with a wire broom or a hard brush to remove rust and other foreign matter. " Galvo ” may then be applied in the same manner as ordinary paint is applied to wood. No preliminary treatment of the surface is necessary.
