Preparation
Always ensure the surface is clean, dry and free from anything that may affect adhesion.
- Greyed or weathered wood will need to be sanded back to a clean and smooth surface.
- Previously painted surfaces need to be cleaned and sanded to offer a key.
Application
We always recommend performing a test patch to the surface to be decorated to ensure you are happy with the finished results.
- Stir well and apply using a brush or roller.
- Apply evenly and liberally without overspreading.
- If more than one coat is required allow to dry for 16 hours between applications.
Do not apply when temperatures are likely to fall below 8°C or when relative humidity is above 80% during the application or drying period.
