Product Information

Full details

Sandtex Trade Exterior Flexigloss X-Tra is an ideal solution for professional painters and homeowners seeking a durable, long-lasting finish for exterior woodwork and joinery. Its primary benefit is a high-performance solvent-based formula designed to resist cracking and flaking, offering up to 10 years of protection when applied with the recommended primer undercoat. A key caveat for users to keep in mind is that this product is mixed to order, meaning it is non-returnable and non-exchangeable once purchased.

Can I return the paint if the color is wrong?

How long does it take to dry between coats?

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering to the surface

Ensure the surface was sanded, cleaned, and primed with Sandtex Flexible Primer Undercoat before application.

Use a high-quality synthetic brush and ensure you are not over-working the paint; allow the product to flow naturally.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal performance, always pair this paint with Sandtex Flexible Primer Undercoat. Proper surface preparation is essential: ensure the wood is clean, dry, and free from loose or flaking paint before applying. If the wood is bare, ensure it has been primed with the appropriate exterior wood primer. To maintain the 10-year protective benefit, avoid application during extreme humidity or freezing temperatures. Store the paint in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed after every use to prevent solvent evaporation and skinning.
