A: While possible, it is strongly recommended to scrape off all loose whitewash/chalk and apply a coat of primer first to prevent peeling and ensure the best Aqualock performance.

Q: Does it have a smell?
A: Being water-based, it has a very mild odour compared to solvent-based paints, allowing for quick re-occupancy of the room.
