The paint covers approximately 12 m² per litre.

What is the best way to apply this paint?

Application is best with a good quality synthetic brush, applied evenly in the direction of the woodgrain.

How do I prepare bare wood before painting?

Lightly sand with 120 grit sandpaper, wipe with white spirit, fill any imperfections with wood filler, and allow to dry.

How do I prepare previously painted wood?

Sand away loose paint down to the bare wood, then wipe clean with white spirit and a damp cloth.

This paint provides a durable gloss finish.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly prepared, free from dust, grease, and old flaking paint. Lightly sand the surface before application and ensure it is clean and dry.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred. Apply thin, even coats in the direction of the woodgrain using a good quality synthetic brush. Avoid overworking the paint.

Paint appears too thick or difficult to apply

Stir the paint well. If still too thick, ensure you are painting in appropriate temperature conditions; extreme cold can thicken paint. Do not add thinners unless explicitly recommended by the manufacturer for specific conditions.

Cracking or peeling after application

This usually indicates poor surface preparation or insufficient coats. Ensure all loose paint was removed and the surface was clean and dry. Apply the recommended number of coats for optimal protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Application:

  1. Stir Thoroughly: Before use, stir the paint well to ensure an even consistency.
  2. Apply: Use a good quality synthetic brush. Apply the paint evenly in the direction of the woodgrain.
  3. Coats: Apply 2 to 3 coats as needed. For bare wood, a third coat may be necessary if the grain is still visible after two coats.

Drying & Recoating:

  • The paint is dry to the touch in 1 hour.
  • It can be recoated after 1 hour.
  • The final coat will be weatherproof in 1 hour.

Care:

  • Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with white spirit.
  • Store paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Ensure the lid is tightly sealed when not in use to preserve the paint's quality.
