Product Information
Full details
This Cuprinol Garden Shades Tester Pot in Pebble Trail is designed for homeowners looking to refresh or protect garden wood like sheds, fences, and furniture. Its key benefit is providing a rich, natural-looking color while offering 4 years of protection, allowing wood grain to show through. A potential caveat is the limited coverage of the 125ml pot, making it best suited for small projects or color testing rather than large areas.

Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well
Ensure the wood surface was properly prepared, clean, and dry before application. Old paint or varnish may need to be removed. Consider applying a wood preserver first on bare wood.
Uneven color finish
Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application. Apply the paint evenly, ensuring consistent brush strokes or spray pattern. Two coats are often necessary for a uniform appearance.
Paint is too thick to apply
Ensure the paint has been stirred well. If necessary, a small amount of water can be added for brush application (up to 10% by volume), but avoid over-thinning as this can affect durability and color.
Coverage is less than expected
Coverage rates are estimates. Adjust application thickness based on the wood's porosity and condition. Rough sawn wood will absorb more product than smooth planed wood.
