FAQs
What is the best way to apply this paint?
Apply with a good quality brush or a medium-nap roller. Ensure even strokes and avoid applying too thickly. Two coats are generally recommended for best results.

Drying times can vary. Typically, it is touch-dry within 1-2 hours and ready for a second coat after 4-6 hours. These times are dependent on temperature and humidity.
Can I use this paint on decking?
This paint is primarily designed for vertical surfaces like sheds and fences. It may not be suitable for horizontal surfaces like decking which experience high foot traffic and different wear patterns.

For best coverage and protection, two coats are generally recommended. Ensure adequate drying time between coats.
How should I store any leftover paint?
Store in the original, tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is firmly closed to prevent the paint from drying out.

Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, free from dust and grease) before application. Check if the wood was too damp or if primer was needed.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply in thin, even coats, working with the grain of the wood. Avoid overworking the paint.
Paint is too thick to apply smoothly
Check the ambient temperature. If too cold, the paint may thicken. Stirring vigorously may help. In rare cases, slight thinning with water might be considered, but always follow manufacturer guidelines.
Colour looks different than expected
Colours can vary based on the wood type, its original condition, and the number of coats applied. Ensure you have applied the recommended number of coats and allow the paint to fully cure before final judgment.
