Thorndown Elder Wood Paint in Brown is designed for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners seeking to protect and beautify any timber surface, indoors or out. Its key benefit is providing a durable, water-repellent, and UV-resistant finish that highlights the natural wood grain with a delicate satin effect. A potential caveat is that achieving a fully water-repellent finish after diluting with water may require an additional coat of UV Clear.

Yes, provided the surface is sound. Lightly abrade or sand glossy or varnished surfaces to ensure good adhesion before applying the paint. Ensure the surface is clean and dry.
In fine weather, the paint dries in one to two hours. Drying times can be longer in damp or cold conditions.
Clean application tools with water immediately after use. For the painted surface itself, use a damp cloth for routine cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Yes, you can easily mix colours together to create your own unique shades. Stir well after mixing.
Micro-porous means the paint allows moisture vapour to pass through, letting the timber breathe. This helps prevent moisture build-up within the wood, reducing the risk of rot or blistering.
While it can be used on internal floors, for very high-traffic areas, a protective topcoat like Thorndown UV Clear might be beneficial to increase durability and scratch resistance.
The Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) content is very low, at 0.28%.
Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free from contaminants before application. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion. Check if the surface is unsuitable (e.g., very oily wood).
Ensure the paint was stirred thoroughly before and during use. Apply paint evenly with consistent brush strokes or roller application. Apply a second coat if necessary, allowing adequate drying time between coats.
If too thick, stir thoroughly. If a thinner consistency is desired for a stain effect, dilute with water (up to 50%). For a more transparent finish, mix with Thorndown Clear.
If the paint was diluted with water and a water-repellent finish is essential, apply 1-2 coats of Thorndown UV Clear over the fully dried paint.
