Product Information

Full details

This Thorndown Ebbor Stone Wood Paint is for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to protect and enhance timber surfaces both indoors and outdoors. Its key benefit is providing an opaque, satin finish with a natural stone hue that lasts for years without UV fading, while being environmentally friendly with minimal VOCs and an odour-free, water-based formula. A slight caveat is that for a fully water-repellent finish on diluted applications, an additional coat of UV Clear may be needed.

How long does the colour last?

What kind of finish does this paint provide?

It provides an opaque protection with a delicate satin finish that allows the natural beauty of the wood grain to be visible.

How should I clean my tools after painting?

Clean your brushes and other application tools with water immediately after use.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from contaminants like grease or dust. Lightly sand bare or weathered wood before application.

Uneven colour finish

Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application. Apply in thin, even coats, maintaining a wet edge. Ensure consistent application technique across the surface.

Surface remains tacky after drying

This can occur in humid conditions or if applied too thickly. Ensure adequate ventilation and allow more time for drying. Avoid applying in very damp or cold weather.

Water beading on diluted finish

If a water-repellent finish is desired after diluting the paint, apply one or two coats of Thorndown UV Clear over the dried, diluted paint.

  • Highlights natural wood grain with a satin finish.

  • Can be customized for different finishes from opaque to stain-like.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure the timber surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or old flaking paint. For best results on unpainted or weathered wood, a light sanding may be beneficial. No primer or undercoat is required.

Compatibility: This versatile paint is designed for use on all types of timber, including sheds, fencing, doors, furniture, and stairs. It can also be applied to terracotta, metal, and plastic surfaces, including PVC window frames.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply directly from the tin for an opaque finish. For a more transparent or stain-like effect, mix with Thorndown Clear or dilute with water. Multiple thin coats are generally preferable to one thick coat. Ensure adequate drying time between coats.

Drying Time: Dries to the touch in one to two hours in good weather conditions. Allow longer drying times in damp or cold conditions.

Care: Clean application tools with water immediately after use. For ongoing maintenance, surfaces painted with Thorndown Ebbor Stone can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to maintain product quality. Protect from frost.
