This Thorndown Tor Stone Wood Paint is designed for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners looking to protect and beautify timber, metal, or PVC surfaces both indoors and outdoors. Its key benefit is offering a durable, water-repellent, satin finish with minimal VOCs and no primer or undercoat needed, saving time and effort. A potential caveat is that achieving a fully water-repellent finish after dilution for a stain effect may require an additional topcoat of UV Clear.

Stir the paint thoroughly. If necessary, dilute slightly with water (maximum 10%) for easier application, especially for a stain effect. Note that excessive dilution may affect water repellency.
Ensure the surface was clean and dry before application. Apply paint evenly with consistent brush strokes. If applying a diluted coat, ensure even distribution of the thinned paint. Consider a second coat for better opacity.
Thorndown uses high-quality exterior-grade colourants for UV resistance. Ensure correct application and consider an additional UV Clear topcoat for maximum protection, especially on exterior surfaces exposed to harsh sunlight.

Coverage: A 2.5-litre tin covers approximately 30 square meters. Coverage may vary based on surface porosity and application method.
Care: Clean brushes and equipment with water immediately after use. Store paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. For a water-repellent finish on diluted applications, apply 1-2 coats of Thorndown UV Clear.
