FAQs
How long does Ronseal Weatherproof 10 Year Exterior Wood Paint last?
The paint is guaranteed to resist cracking, peeling, and blistering for 10 years when applied according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Can I use this paint on decking?
While it offers weatherproof protection, it is primarily designed for vertical wood surfaces like fences, sheds, and doors. For decking that experiences foot traffic, a specialized decking product may be more appropriate for optimal durability.
How quickly can I recoat the surface?
The paint becomes weatherproof in 1 hour. Always refer to the product's specific instructions for the recommended recoating time, as full curing takes longer and varies with conditions.
What kind of surfaces is this paint suitable for?
It is ideal for both bare and previously painted wood, including fences, sheds, doors, window frames, and other exterior woodwork.
Do I need to use a primer?
Priming is recommended for bare wood to ensure optimal adhesion and performance. It's also beneficial for hardwoods or woods prone to tannin staining. For previously painted surfaces, ensure they are sound and prepared correctly.
What colours are available?
This specific product is available in Red. Other colours may be available in the Ronseal 10 Year Weatherproof Exterior Wood Paint range, such as Satin Grey.
How do I clean my painted surface?
Clean painted surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well or peeling prematurely.
Ensure the wood surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, free from contaminants) and that adequate primer was used on bare wood. Check that the paint was applied to a sound, previously painted surface if applicable. Ensure recoating times were respected.
Uneven finish or brush marks are visible.
Apply paint evenly, using long, smooth strokes. Ensure the paint is well-stirred. Avoid overworking the paint. Use a high-quality brush or roller suitable for exterior paints.
Paint remains tacky after application.
This can occur in very humid or cold conditions. Ensure application within the recommended temperature range. Allow additional drying time in adverse conditions. Avoid applying excessively thick coats.
Wood appears to be swelling or cracking under the paint.
This may indicate a significant movement issue with the wood itself. Ensure the wood is sound before painting. The paint's flexibility helps, but extreme wood movement can still cause issues. Consider addressing the underlying wood condition if possible.
