Cuprinol 5 Year Ducksback - Forest Green - 9L

This product is formulated to provide durable weather protection for up to 5 years.

It is ideal for exterior timber surfaces such as fences, sheds, and other garden wood structures.

You can apply it easily with a good quality brush or roller. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before starting.

The paint is typically touch-dry within 2-4 hours, allowing for quick re-coating.

A 9L tin covers approximately 5 square meters per liter, meaning a 9L tin can cover around 45 square meters with one coat.

No specific primer is required. However, ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from loose material for best results and adhesion.

No, this product is not recommended for decking or any surfaces subject to heavy foot traffic, as it is designed for vertical timber structures.

Ensure the application area has adequate ventilation and is not excessively humid or cold. Apply thin, even coats; thick coats take longer to dry. Check weather conditions as high humidity can significantly extend drying times.

Thoroughly stir the paint before and periodically during application to ensure pigment is evenly dispersed. Apply coats evenly, avoiding heavy loading in one area. Ensure the wood surface is clean and not excessively porous in patches.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared and not overly porous. Very dry or rough timber may absorb more paint on the first coat. Apply thinner, even coats. For very porous wood, an additional thin coat might be necessary to achieve desired coverage.

This typically indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure the wood surface was clean, dry, and free of loose dirt, old paint, or mildew before application. Flaking can also occur if applied over incompatible existing coatings.

This is normal for the first coat, especially on untreated wood. The product is designed for two coats to achieve full color depth and weather protection. Ensure the paint was well-stirred to distribute pigments.
