Ronseal Garden Paint in Elderflower is engineered for straightforward application and reliable performance across your garden. Its versatility means you can transform a weathered wooden fence, rejuvenate old terracotta pots, or add a vibrant touch to a stone bird bath. For example, applying it to a wooden planter will not only give it a fresh, Elderflower yellow look but also protect it from moisture, extending its life. When used on a brick planter, the paint adheres well, providing a waterproof barrier and a consistent colour. The quick rainproof feature is particularly useful; if you paint your garden bench in the morning, it will be protected from unexpected showers by lunchtime, allowing you to enjoy your refreshed garden sooner. The high solid content ensures that the vibrant Elderflower colour remains strong and vibrant over time, resisting the common issues of cracking and peeling that can affect other outdoor paints. This makes it an ideal choice for adding durable, cheerful accents throughout your outdoor space.
Before applying Ronseal Garden Paint, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose dirt, dust, or flaking material. For optimal adhesion on metal surfaces, a suitable metal primer must be applied first. For wood, light sanding may be beneficial, especially if the surface is particularly smooth or weathered. Ensure any previous finishes are sound and well-adhered; remove any loose paint or varnish.
1. Stir Thoroughly: Before and during use, stir the paint well to ensure an even consistency and colour. 2. Apply: Use a good quality brush or roller. Apply in thin, even coats, working along the grain of wood where applicable. 3. Multiple Coats: For best results and durability, two coats are generally recommended. Allow adequate drying time between coats, though it becomes rainproof in an hour.
This paint is compatible with a wide range of garden materials, including:
Wood

Tool Cleaning: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water.
Storage: Store the paint in its original container, in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and protected from frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed.
