FAQs

Can I use this paint on my deck?

No, Cuprinol Garden Shades is not designed for use on decking.

Is this paint safe for garden wildlife?

Yes, it is believed to be safe for wood that birds, pets, and wild animals come into contact with or gnaw once the paint is completely dry.

What tools are best for application?

You can use a standard brush, a roller, or a compatible Cuprinol garden sprayer.

How long should I wait between coats?

You should wait at least eight hours between coats to allow the surface to dry properly.

How do I dispose of leftover paint?

Do not pour it down the drain. Take leftover paint to a Community RePaint collection point as listed on their website.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering to an old, painted surface

Lightly sand the existing surface to improve mechanical grip and ensure it is clean and dry before recoating.

Overspray on nearby surfaces

Clean any overspray immediately while it is still wet using water and a mild household detergent.

Visible streaks or uneven finish

Ensure you are applying the paint evenly along the wood grain and apply a minimum of two full coats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure weather conditions are dry and temperatures are above 5°C. For application, stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. If using a sprayer, consult the specific Cuprinol sprayer manual to ensure proper flow.

Surface preparation is key: remove any flaking paint and sand existing coatings if adhesion seems poor. Always treat raw wood with a wood preserver before painting to prevent decay. To clean up, simply wipe excess product from brushes with a cloth and wash them in water. Store the container in a cool, frost-free environment, away from extreme temperatures.
