Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or patchy colour

Ensure the wood surface is clean and dry before painting. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply paint evenly along the wood grain and apply a second coat if necessary for consistent coverage.

Paint not drying properly or remaining tacky

Check the weather conditions; paint may take longer to dry in high humidity or cold temperatures. Ensure you are applying thin, even coats and not overloading the brush or roller.

Paint peeling or flaking prematurely

This often indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure the wood surface is completely clean, dry, and free of loose material before painting. Do not apply over existing flaking paint.

Poor coverage, using more paint than expected

Ensure the paint is well-stirred. Rough sawn timber can be very absorbent, requiring more paint. Apply a sufficient first coat and always plan for two coats for best results.

Discoloration or streaking

Ensure the wood is clean and free of any mould, algae, or previously applied incompatible treatments. Stir the paint well to ensure pigment consistency.

  • Eco-Conscious: Low odour and safe for surrounding plants and pets.

  • Limited Application: Designed *only* for sheds and fences, not suitable for decking or other horizontal wood surfaces.
  • Specific Colour: Misty Heathland may not suit all garden aesthetics, limiting colour choice for some users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Before you begin painting, ensure your working area is clear and protected. Lay down dust sheets or old newspapers to prevent accidental splashes on patios or plants. Ensure the shed or fence is structurally sound and any repairs are completed prior to painting.

Compatibility

This product is specifically formulated and compatible with rough sawn timber sheds and fences. It is not recommended for use on smooth planed timber, decking, garden furniture, or other wood surfaces where foot traffic or direct skin contact is frequent. Always check the wood type before application.

Care & Maintenance

  • Cleaning: To clean painted surfaces, gently wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh abrasives or strong chemical cleaners as these may damage the finish.
  • Re-application: While the paint offers up to 5 years of protection, inspect your sheds and fences annually. Re-apply a fresh coat if you notice signs of wear, fading, or reduced water repellency to maintain optimal protection and appearance.
  • Storage: Store any unused paint in its original container, tightly sealed, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is securely fastened to prevent the paint from drying out.
