Setup, Compatibility & Care
Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean and dry before application. Remove any loose or flaking paint from previously coated wood, stripping back to bare wood where necessary. For optimal results and to prevent decay, treat bare wood with an appropriate wood preserver before applying Garden Shades. Test a small area first to check for colour and adhesion.
Application Conditions: Apply only in dry conditions, with temperatures above 5°C, and when no bad weather is forecast. Avoid application if frost is expected.
Application Methods:
- Brush: Stir thoroughly before and during use. Apply evenly along the grain. A minimum of two coats is recommended.
- Spray: Stir thoroughly before pouring into a Cuprinol sprayer. Refer to the sprayer's user guide for detailed instructions. Protect surrounding surfaces from overspray.
Compatibility: Suitable for rough sawn and smooth wood, fences, sheds, summerhouses, garden furniture, terracotta, brick, and stone. *Not suitable for decking.*
Tool Cleaning: Remove excess product from brushes with a cloth, then wash thoroughly with water.
Storage: Do not store or use in extreme temperatures and protect from frost.
