Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose material. For previously painted surfaces, lightly abrade and ensure good adhesion. Prime bare wood with a suitable primer if necessary, especially if using non-wood stain variants.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a brush, roller, or sprayer. Two coats are generally recommended for optimal protection and color depth. Avoid applying in wet weather, extreme temperatures (below 5°C or above 30°C), or when frost is expected. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per manufacturer's instructions.
Compatibility: Bedec Barn Paint is formulated for wood. While it adheres well to prepared wooden surfaces, compatibility with other materials or existing paint types should be tested in an inconspicuous area if unsure.
Care: Clean tools and spills immediately after use with water. For ongoing maintenance, wipe surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Check for any signs of wear or damage annually and touch up as needed.
