Product Information

Full details

This guide is for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners looking to protect and beautify timber surfaces both indoors and outdoors. The Thorndown Chantry Cream Wood Paint offers an easy-to-use, eco-friendly solution with a delicate satin finish that enhances natural wood grain. A key benefit is its versatility across all timber types and applications without needing a primer or undercoat, though its water-based nature means an additional UV Clear coat is recommended for maximum water repellency after dilution.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and dry before application. Lightly sand bare wood or previously coated surfaces for better grip.

Uneven colour after dilution

Ensure paint is thoroughly mixed before and during application when diluted. Apply thinning coats evenly and avoid over-application in specific areas.

Surface still feels tacky after drying

This can occur in high humidity or cold conditions. Ensure adequate ventilation and allow extra drying time. Avoid applying a second coat until the first is fully dry to the touch.

Water beading poorly on diluted finish

Apply one to two coats of Thorndown UV Clear over the diluted paint to achieve maximum water repellency.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Preparation: Ensure the timber surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose particles. Lightly sand bare wood to ensure optimal adhesion. For previously painted or varnished surfaces, a light sanding is sufficient; no harsh stripping is usually required.

Compatibility: This paint is suitable for all types of timber (softwood and hardwood) for both interior and exterior use. It also adheres well to metal and plastic surfaces, including PVC window frames.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply directly from the tin using a brush or roller. For a more transparent finish, mix with Thorndown UV Clear. For a wood stain effect, dilute with water (up to 50%). Apply one to two coats, allowing 1-2 hours drying time between coats in good weather.

Care: Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with water. For a highly water-repellent finish, especially after diluting the paint, apply one or two coats of Thorndown UV Clear. The painted surface can be cleaned gently with a damp cloth as needed.
