Preparation

Proper surface preparation is essential for a smooth, durable finish with Bedec Aqua-Advanced paints. Follow these guidelines to ensure the best results:

Clean & dry surfaces: Ensure all areas are free from dust, dirt, grease, and wax.
Remove loose paint: Scrape away any flaking or defective coatings.
Mould & algae: Remove growths and treat affected areas with a suitable fungicidal wash.
Glossy surfaces: Lightly abrade smooth or shiny areas to provide a key for adhesion.
Metal surfaces: Bare steel should be clean, rust-free, and dust-free before applying Bedec All Metals Primer in Phosphate Grey or Red Oxide.
Timber:
- Pressure-treated wood: allow at least 6 months weathering before painting.
- Denatured or greyed timber: abrade back to reveal fresh cells.
- New planed, finished, or PSE timber: lightly sand to open the grain for better penetration.
Staining risk: For extractive discolouration, apply Bedec Stain Block and test a small area first. Knots should also be treated with Bedec Stain Block (knotting solution is not recommended).

Application

Always test a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure you are satisfied with the colour and finish.

Stir the paint thoroughly before use and only apply when air and surface temperatures are above 8°C.
Can be applied by brush, roller, conventional H.V.L.P., or airless spray. Avoid over-spreading the paint.
Spraying may reduce coverage depending on the equipment used.
Apply 2–3 coats, allowing each coat to dry for at least 4 hours before applying the next.
