Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this paint be used on interior wood?

This product is specifically developed for exterior garden use and is formulated to withstand outdoor weather conditions.

How much area does one litre cover?

Coverage is approximately 10m² per litre, though this can vary based on the texture and porosity of the wood.

Do I need to prime the wood first?

Generally, no primer is required for bare wood; however, ensure the wood is clean and dry before applying the first coat.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Because this is a water-based product, you can clean your brushes easily with warm soapy water.

Can I apply this over existing paint?

Yes, provided the existing paint is sound and not flaking. Sand down glossy surfaces first to ensure good adhesion.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well to the surface

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned of dust, grease, and moss before application.

Visible brush marks or uneven finish

Apply using smooth, long strokes in the direction of the wood grain and avoid overloading the brush.

Colour appears streaky after drying

The surface may be too porous; apply an additional thin, even coat once the first is completely dry.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Up to 6 years of exterior weather protection
  • Preserves natural wood grain visibility
  • Easy water-based cleanup
  • Versatile use on wood, stone, and brick
  • Flexible application methods (brush or spray)

Cons

  • Coverage can vary significantly on rough or porous surfaces
  • Requires proper surface preparation for long-term adhesion
  • Multiple coats often needed for optimal depth of colour

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure all surfaces are free from loose dirt, moss, or oily residues. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use to ensure the pigment is evenly distributed. If applying by sprayer, ensure the nozzle is clean and the viscosity of the paint is suitable for your specific equipment. Store the tin in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the product from drying out. Avoid application if rain is forecast within 24 hours to allow the water-based binder to cure properly.
