How to prepare

Preparation is the key to success in any endeavor, whether it's an exam, a presentation, or a new job. The first step in preparing effectively is to understand what is required. This means gathering all necessary information, identifying deadlines, and understanding expectations. Without a clear roadmap, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or lose focus. A well-organized plan can help break larger tasks into smaller, more manageable steps, making the process smoother and less stressful. Once you’ve outlined your goals and gathered your resources, the next phase is to create a schedule. Time management plays a crucial role in preparation. Allocating specific time slots to particular tasks can increase productivity and ensure steady progress. Avoid last-minute cramming or rushing by starting early and reviewing your progress regularly. Staying disciplined with your schedule will help you stay on track and reduce anxiety as the final date approaches.

Finally, it’s important to stay mentally and physically ready. Good preparation goes beyond just the task at hand—it includes taking care of your well-being. Getting enough rest, eating well, and taking breaks can enhance focus and performance. Staying confident and adaptable is equally important. Even if things don’t go perfectly according to plan, a calm and prepared mindset will allow you to handle challenges effectively and stay resilient under pressure. Avoid last-minute cramming or rushing by starting early and reviewing your progress regularly. Staying disciplined with your schedule will help you stay on track and reduce anxiety as the final date approaches.

Preparation starts with a clear plan. Begin by outlining your goals and identifying what resources or materials you'll need. Whether it's documents, tools, or information, having everything in one place will make the process smoother and more efficient. Next, create a schedule that breaks your preparation into manageable steps. Assign deadlines to each task and prioritize based on urgency or complexity. This helps avoid last-minute stress and ensures you're steadily making progress without feeling overwhelmed.   Finally, take time to review and adjust. Reflect on what’s working, and don’t be afraid to make changes to your plan as needed. Staying flexible and proactive is key to being fully prepared and confident when it counts.

My paint is chalking! What must I do?

As the coating ages, colours seem to fade, as the surface of the coating starts to chalk. Chalking paint areas are relatively easy to see because hidden areas such as eaves will not usually show a chalking surface. Before repainting a chalking surface, the following surface preparation must be done: Sand down glossy surfaces to a matt finish. Remove flaking paint. (re-plaster if necessary). Make sure surface is clean and dry. Touch up holes and cracks with Pera Flex Fill (MXRP-2) or poly filler. NB: Poly filler spots must be sealed with Pera Sealer (MB-30) before another topcoat is applied. Apply 1 coat of Pera Sealer over the total area. Repaint with Peralin Paints superior top coat PVA paints (Grade 1 or 2).

My new paint coating is peeling from a newly coated wall. What should I do?

A paint coating can start to peel after a few days or weeks after application. Peeling or blistering paint can occur when there is a loss of adhesion between the paint and the prime-coat it is applied on. One of the major factors for this is poor surface preparation by applying an inferior prime coat. To avoid this issue, use only Peralin Paints Plaster Primer (as prime coat) as well as Peralin Paints superior top coat PVA paints (Grade 1, 2 or 3). Also make sure that the surface is properly cleaned and that you adhere to the correct application methods as described on the buckets. For more info about proper paint application please don’t hesitate to contact our Peralin Paints team for professional advice.
