Preparation

Always ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and dirt free to ensure adhesion.

• Degrease any exposed bare timber by wiping with a cloth dampened with methylated spirits.
• Treat any resinous knots with an appropriate blocking primer, do not use a "knotting agent".
• Fill any minor defects, imperfections, or open joints with Sadolin Woodfiller.
• Exposed, weathered, loose or greying timber must be thoroughly sanded back to a clean sound surface.
• Any non-preservative treated softwood timber should be treated with two liberal coats of Sadolin Quick Dry Wood Preserver.

Application

We recommend always following the manufacturer's instructions found on the tin. Stir thoroughly, it is recommended that a small test area is applied before treating the entire surface to ensure compatibility.

• Do not apply when temperatures are below 8°C and above 25°C.
• Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred, do not thin.
• Apply using a good quality, long-haired, soft-bristle paintbrush.
• Pay special attention to end grain, tops, and bottoms of the door and under cills for full weather protection.
• Apply 2-3 coats on previously coated timber or 3 coats on new joinery, allowing 16-24 hours between coats.
