This is a water-based paint designed to enhance wood grain. If a more opaque finish is desired, multiple thin coats are recommended over a primer or base coat.
Clean tools immediately after use with water. If paint has dried, use a brush cleaner or soap and water, though this may require more effort.
Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dirt, grease, and algae. For bare wood, lightly sand to create a key. For previously painted or varnished surfaces, ensure they are sound or stripped back to bare wood.
Compatibility: This paint is suitable for use on wood, brick, and terracotta garden items. It is not recommended for use on decking or surfaces that will be in direct contact with food.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a good quality brush or a sprayer. For best results, apply two thin coats. Allow 2-8 hours drying time between coats, depending on conditions.
Care: Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with water. The paint finish is durable and water-resistant once fully cured. Avoid heavy cleaning for the first 7 days.
