Product Information

Full details

This Thorndown Ebbor Stone Wood Paint is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to protect and beautify timber surfaces both indoors and outdoors. Its primary benefit is offering a durable, natural stone hue with a satin finish that enhances wood grain, all while being environmentally friendly and easy to apply. A potential consideration is that achieving a fully water-repellent finish with diluted paint may require an additional coat of UV Clear.

FAQs

Do I need to prime the wood before using Thorndown Ebbor Stone paint?

No, primer or undercoat is not required with Thorndown Wood Paint. It is designed to adhere directly to most timber surfaces.

Can this paint be used on metal or plastic?

Yes, Thorndown Wood Paint is versatile and can be used on terracotta, metal, and PVC surfaces, including window frames.

How long does the paint take to dry?

Under good weather conditions, the paint typically dries in one to two hours.

Can I mix Thorndown Ebbor Stone with other colours?

Yes, Thorndown paints can be mixed with each other to create custom colours. You can also mix them with Thorndown Clear for a more transparent finish.

Is the paint safe for use indoors?

Yes, the paint is water-based, odour-free, and has minimal VOCs, making it suitable and safe for interior use.

How should I clean my painted surface?

Clean the painted surface gently with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners to maintain the finish.

What is the coverage of a 2.5L tin?

A 2.5-litre tin covers approximately 30 square meters.

How can I achieve a more water-repellent finish if I dilute the paint?

If you dilute the paint and require a stronger water-repellent finish, apply one or two coats of Thorndown UV Clear over the fully dried Ebbor Stone paint.

Troubleshooting

Paint is too thick for desired application.

Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick, dilute sparingly with water or Thorndown Clear, depending on the desired finish effect.

Uneven colour or patchiness after drying.

Ensure the surface was clean and free from contaminants before painting. Apply a second coat for more even coverage, ensuring the first coat is fully dry. Stir paint well before and during application.

Paint is not adhering well to the surface.

Verify the surface was clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Ensure no incompatible finishes were present. For very smooth or non-porous surfaces like some plastics, a light sanding may improve adhesion.

Water is not beading on the surface after application.

If the paint was diluted, apply an additional coat of Thorndown UV Clear over the dried Ebbor Stone paint for enhanced water repellency.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • One-coat application for many surfaces, saving time and effort.
  • Excellent adhesion and durability on various materials.
  • Environmentally conscious with low VOCs and water-based formulation.
  • Resistant to UV fading, ensuring long-term colour vibrancy.
  • Versatile for both interior and exterior use on wood, metal, and plastic.
  • Odor-free application enhances user comfort.

Cons

  • Achieving a fully water-repellent finish with diluted paint may require an extra coat of UV Clear.
  • Drying times can be affected by weather conditions.
  • While versatile, results on non-timber surfaces like metal and plastic might vary.
  • Requires specific care to maintain the finish on high-traffic interior areas.
  • Coverage estimates are for a single coat; multiple coats may be needed for full opacity on some surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the timber surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose debris. For previously painted surfaces, ensure they are sound. No primer or undercoat is required.
  2. Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply directly from the tin using a brush or roller.
  3. Dilution (Optional): For a thinner consistency or wood stain effect, mix with water. For a more transparent finish, mix with Thorndown Clear. For enhanced water repellency after diluting, a coat of Thorndown UV Clear may be applied over the dried paint.

Compatibility:

  • Primary Use: All types of timber, interior and exterior.
  • Other Surfaces: Also suitable for terracotta, metal, and PVC (including window frames).
  • Mixing: Can be mixed with other Thorndown paints for custom colours or with Thorndown Clear for varied opacity.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean tools and spills immediately with water.
  • Maintenance: For best longevity, reapply a coat as needed, typically after several years depending on exposure and wear. Clean the painted surface gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
