Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this on surfaces other than wood?

Yes, this product is also suitable for use on terracotta, brick, and stone.

How many coats do I need?

A minimum of two coats is required to ensure proper protection and color depth.

How long must I wait between coats?

Subsequent coats must be applied on the same day, no longer than 8 hours apart.

Is this paint oil-based or water-based?

It is a water-based paint, which allows for easier cleanup.

How much area will one liter cover?

Coverage is up to 10m² per liter, though this varies depending on the surface condition and application method.

Do I need to sand the wood before painting?

Yes, you should lightly sand surfaces before re-coating to ensure optimal adhesion.

Troubleshooting

Paint is peeling shortly after application

This is likely due to improper surface preparation. Ensure all loose or flaking old paint was stripped back to bare wood before application.

The finish looks uneven or patchy

Ensure you are applying a minimum of two coats. Uneven patches often occur when the surface is highly absorbent; consider an additional coat.

The paint is not adhering to the surface

Lightly sand the surface before applying the paint to improve adhesion, especially if the surface was previously coated or is naturally oily.

  • Requires a minimum of two coats for proper effectiveness

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before applying Cuprinol Garden Shades, ensure the target surface is completely clean and dry. If the surface was previously painted, use sandpaper to remove any loose or flaking paint to ensure the new layer adheres correctly to the bare wood. You must apply at least two coats to achieve the advertised protection. These coats must be applied on the same day, with no more than 8 hours of separation between applications. Store the tin in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the water-based contents from drying out.
