FAQs

Can I use this paint on my deck?

No, this product is specifically not intended for use on decking.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is touch dry in one hour. You should wait eight hours before applying a second coat.

What tools should I use for application?

You can use a traditional brush for precision work or a Cuprinol sprayer for larger, faster coverage.

What is the surface coverage for one 5L tin?

On average, a 5L tin can cover up to 12 square meters per liter, though this can vary depending on the surface porosity.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering to a previously painted surface

Lightly sand the existing coating to provide a "key" for the new paint to stick to and ensure the surface is clean and dry.

Overspray on nearby plants or patio areas

Immediately wipe away wet overspray using a cloth dampened with water and household detergent.

Paint finish appears uneven

Ensure the paint is stirred thoroughly before and during application, and apply at least two coats for uniform coverage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before you begin, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of loose, flaking material. If the wood was previously painted, sand the surface lightly to improve adhesion. If you are working with bare wood, apply an appropriate wood preserver first to prevent decay. Always stir the paint thoroughly before and during use to ensure the pigments are evenly distributed.

Store the paint in a cool, dry place, ensuring it is protected from frost. Do not use the paint in extreme temperatures or when bad weather is forecasted. For cleanup, remove excess product from your brush with a cloth before washing the tool thoroughly with water.
