Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting your project, ensure the ambient temperature is at least 5 degrees Celsius and that no rain is forecast. Prepare the wood by ensuring it is clean, dry, and free of debris. If you are applying the paint to older, weathered wood, consider treating it with a wood preserver first to prevent decay. When using a sprayer, ensure you cover nearby surfaces to protect against overspray, which should be cleaned immediately with water and detergent while still wet. Clean your brushes easily using water immediately after use. Store the tin in a cool, dry place, ensuring it is protected from frost and extreme temperatures.
