Don't think about seconds from afar.

Plains zebra (Equus quagga) is an African animal whose distinctive color is evenly spaced white and black stripes. 

Explanatory dictionary 

Seconds die in packs of sixty, forming a minute. 

Frederick Bagbeder   

And nothing supernatural is needed for this. It is enough just to start painting in a light draft or at high temperature. And after a while we will see the result clearly - all the joints from the roller passages will become noticeable so much that the walls and ceiling will seem simply striped to the envy of African zebras.

Let's try to figure out what is the matter here: bad paint or low qualifications of the painter? Neither one nor the other. The reason lies in the very nature of water-dispersion paints. Their main solvent, as the name suggests, is water. And in addition, such paints contain a large number of mineral fillers (marble powder, talc, mica) and pigments.

So, maybe just add water to the paint? No, supporters of a simple solution to complex issues will have to be disappointed! Nothing good will come of this: the coverage of the paint and its viscosity will decrease significantly, the drying time will not increase much, but what will really suffer is the quality.

But even in difficult situations, there is a way out. This time, we will be helped by a wonderful product from Eskaro TIME + - an additive for interior paints that increases their drying time. 

You don’t need to add a lot of “TIME +” to the paint! Just 3% (1 bottle of 300 ml per ten-liter bucket) will do its job: the paint will dry ONE AND A HALF times longer, which will allow the painter to maintain a “wet” edge during work, and the joints will be simply invisible. “TIME +” will make the paint softer and easier to apply. And, which is very important for professional painters, “TIME +” will not change the viscosity and coverage of the paint. The professional eye of the designer will be pleased to notice that the color and shine of the paint after “TIME +” remain the same as before. It will not be superfluous to emphasize the environmental properties of the additive – it has no odor and therefore will not spoil your impression of the repair.

Does this mean that “TIME +” must be added to all paints? Of course not, but there are cases in which the additive will be a guarantee of high quality and an insurance policy for the painter:

• - painting large areas;
• - painting under adverse conditions (drafts, high temperature, low humidity).

It's not every day that you are offered to buy time... So let "TIME +" be your personal Time Machine in the world of colors!
