Preparation
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from any substances that may affect adhesion. Remove any loose or flaking material, and feather the edges of sound paint with abrasive paper. Eliminate all rust by scraping, chipping, or wire brushing. Clean the surface with hot water and a liquid detergent solution to remove all oil, grease, and other contaminants, frequently changing the water. Spot prime bare metal with an appropriate rust-inhibiting primer and undercoat.
Application
We recommend performing a test patch on the surface to ensure satisfaction with the final results. Stir well, and intermix packs in a larger container for colour consistency. Apply with a brush or roller, avoiding overspreading. For maximum durability, apply two coats, allowing 16 hours between coats. More coats may be required if covering a strong colour. Do not apply if there is a risk of rain or if the air/surface temperature is expected to fall below 8°C or if the relative humidity exceeds 80% during application or drying.

Ordered 2T of midnight blue slate chipping (2 pallets of 50 bags each) Very nice product at a great price. Contacted quickly after order to arrange a suitable delivery date. Delivery was as arranged. Customer service is excellent including follow up call to ensure everything went well. All in all I would highly recommend Armstrong Cheshire.

Due to a mistake in communication ( mostly my mistake) the first delivery of bulk aggregate went to an address I used to live at. After asking to have a replacement delivery to the correct address Armstrong Cheshire re-scheduled the delivery within 3 days and with fantastic customer relations. I cannot recommend this company enough.
