Thorndown UV Clear Wood Paint is for anyone looking to protect and enhance timber surfaces both indoors and outdoors while preserving the natural beauty of the wood grain. Its key benefit is providing durable, transparent protection with UV defense and a satin finish. A potential caveat is that achieving a water-repellent finish after significant dilution with water requires an additional coat of UV Clear.

Yes, Thorndown UV Clear Wood Paint is suitable for exterior timber applications including decks, fences, and sheds, offering UV protection and a durable finish.
You can achieve a wood stain effect by diluting the paint with water, up to a maximum of 50% water to paint ratio. This will create a more transparent finish while still allowing the wood grain to be visible.
Yes, Thorndown UV Clear Wood Paint can coat metal surfaces, providing a protective layer.
The paint is an eco-based, water-based product with minimal Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) at 0.28%.
No, the 'UV Clear' in the name indicates that this paint itself contains UV protection to prevent fading and degradation from sun exposure.
Thorndown UV Clear Wood Paint is designed to be applied directly to bare timber, metal, or plastic. For best results and adhesion, it is recommended to remove old paint or varnish first, or to lightly sand the surface if recoating a sound, existing finish.
Typically, one or two coats are sufficient. The number of coats may vary depending on the desired finish and the porosity of the surface. For heavily diluted applications requiring water repellency, an extra coat of undiluted UV Clear may be beneficial.
Ensure the surface is properly prepared and dry. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application. Apply thin, even coats, avoiding overworking the paint. If diluting, ensure consistent dilution ratios.
This may occur if the paint was applied too thickly or mixed with too much opaque paint. For maximum grain visibility, use the UV Clear paint undiluted or with minimal dilution. Consider a lighter application or a different thinning ratio.
This could be due to applying the paint too thickly, poor ventilation, or low temperatures/high humidity. Ensure application conditions are suitable (dry, moderate temperature). Apply thinner coats and allow adequate drying time in a well-ventilated area.
If the paint was heavily diluted with water (over 50%) and a strongly water-repellent finish is required, an additional coat of undiluted Thorndown UV Clear Wood Paint is recommended.
Setup: Ensure the timber surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or any loose material. No primer or undercoat is necessary. Stir the paint thoroughly before use.
Compatibility: Suitable for all types of timber (softwood and hardwood), interior and exterior applications. Also compatible with metal and plastic surfaces, including PVC window frames.
Application: Apply with a brush, roller, or spray. For a more transparent finish, mix with Thorndown paints. For a wood stain effect, dilute with water (up to 50%). If heavily diluted with water and a water-repellent finish is critical, apply an additional coat of Thorndown UV Clear.
Care: Clean application tools with water immediately after use. For painted surfaces, clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Drying Time: Dries to touch in 1-2 hours in fine weather. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
