You can clean the painted surface with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools that could damage the finish.
Ensure the wood surface was properly prepared and primed with Tikkurila Ultra Primer. The surface must be clean, dry, and free from dust or contaminants.
Ensure consistent application technique and adequate drying time between coats. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application, especially if using tinted paint.
This is often due to inadequate surface preparation or application in adverse weather conditions. Re-ensure the wood is dry and has been properly primed. Avoid application if rain or frost is expected.
Check application temperature recommendations. If necessary, the paint can be slightly thinned according to manufacturer guidelines for specific application methods (e.g., spraying), but avoid excessive thinning.
Surface Preparation: For optimal results and maximum durability, especially when aiming for the stated 15-year protection, bare or weathered wood surfaces must first be treated with Tikkurila Ultra Primer. Ensure the wood is clean, dry, and free from any contaminants like dirt, grease, or old flaking paint. Sand down any rough patches if necessary.
Application: Apply Valtti Opaque using a brush, roller, or spray. Two coats are generally recommended for best coverage and protection. Allow adequate drying time between coats according to product specifications. The paint is tintable to a wide range of colors; consult with your retailer for available shades.
Compatibility: This product is designed for exterior wood surfaces. It is compatible with Tikkurila Ultra Primer for a complete system. Ensure compatibility with any existing finishes if not priming bare wood, although a full system is recommended for best performance.
Care: Clean the painted surface with a soft cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Periodic inspection for any damage is advised, though the durable nature of the coating minimizes the need for frequent cleaning or repairs.
