Troubleshooting

Product won't adhere or is peeling

Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free from mould or algae. If previously coated, loose flaking wood may not have been fully removed. Lightly sand previous coatings if adhesion is inadequate. Ensure bare wood was pre-treated with a suitable preserver.

Uneven colour finish

Stir the product thoroughly before and during use. Apply evenly in the recommended number of coats. Note that the final colour can vary depending on the surface type and the number of coats applied. Consider a test patch first.

Overspray on surrounding areas

Cover nearby surfaces before spraying. Clean up any overspray immediately while it is still wet using water and household detergent.

Product is too thick to apply

Ensure the product has not been stored in freezing temperatures. Stir thoroughly. If necessary and following product guidelines (though not explicitly stated for thinning in provided data, water-based paints often allow minimal water for brush application if needed, but always check specific product recommendations).

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.
