Product Information
Full details
Sadolin Superdec Satin is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a high-performance, versatile opaque finish for exterior surfaces ranging from wood to masonry. The key benefit is its exceptional durability, offering up to 10 years of protection with a flexible formula that resists flaking, peeling, and cracking. While it provides excellent coverage and self-priming capabilities, users should note that resinous timber requires a specific blocking primer to prevent tannin bleed-through, and it must be applied in a three-coat system.

FAQs
Can I use a roller instead of a brush?
The product is specifically formulated for brush application to ensure the proper film thickness and penetration, particularly on porous surfaces like wood.
Does it need a separate primer?
For most surfaces, no, as it is self-priming. However, for resinous timber, a blocking primer is required.
How long does it take to be touch dry?
The paint is touch dry within 4 to 6 hours depending on ambient temperature and humidity.
Can this be used on metal?
Yes, it is suitable for steel, provided the surface is properly prepared and cleaned of any rust or contaminants.
Is 3 coats strictly necessary?
Yes, to achieve the performance and the promised 10-year protective lifespan, the full three-coat system must be applied.
What should I do if the surface is already painted?
Ensure the existing paint is sound and not flaking. Sand it down to remove any gloss and clean the surface thoroughly before applying your coats.
Troubleshooting
Discolouration appearing through the white paint
This is likely tannin bleed from resinous timber. Apply a dedicated blocking primer before re-applying the Superdec topcoats.
Paint takes too long to dry
Check humidity and temperature; application in cold or very damp conditions will significantly increase drying times. Ensure good ventilation.
Poor adhesion to the surface
The surface may not have been sufficiently prepared. Sand the area to create a rougher profile and remove all dust before re-coating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure surfaces are sound, clean, and dry. For new or bare timber, remove any resinous deposits and treat with a blocking primer to prevent potential discolouration. If you are painting over existing coatings, sand the surface to provide a "key" for adhesion.
Application Steps:
- Prepare the surface by removing dirt, grease, or flaking paint.
- Apply the first coat by brush, ensuring even coverage.
- Wait 16 hours before applying the second coat.
- Apply the final third coat to achieve the full protective film thickness.
Keep brushes clean by washing them in water immediately after use. Store the container in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the water-borne contents from drying out.
