Preparation

For best results, make sure surfaces to be treated are sound, clean and dry. Remove all loose and defective coatings, stripping back to bare wood if necessary.

  • Previously painted surfaces may need to be stripped back to bare wood if the coating is in poor condition. Special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1960s paint surfaces over wood and metal as they may contain harmful lead.
  • Remove and treat any mould, algae, lichen or moss with Dulux Weathershield Multi-Surface Fungicidal Wash.
  • Remove defective glazing material, clean the rebates and any loose or open joints. Replace any rotten wood and problem knots with new preservative treated timber.
  • Rub down all surfaces thoroughly in the direction of the grain to remove any grey, weathered wood and surface sheen from remaining coatings, and then dust off (refer to COSHH Assessment).
  • Prime all bare wood with 2 coats of Dulux Trade Preservative Primer including any new or bare replacement beading. Wipe off excess basecoat from surrounding paintwork.
  • Fill any surface defects, open joints, etc. and replace any missing glazing material. Do not use linseed oil putty for glazing (or making good) with natural wood finishes, use external beads set in an appropriate non-setting mastic or a special glazing compound.
  • New joinery is often factory primed using a stain basecoat, also called a dual-purpose primer. These materials erode quickly when left exposed and may need to be re-primed.
  • Treat any knots and resinous areas by removing resin and applying a thin coat of an appropriate knotting solution, to help prevent discolouration.
Application

Always follow the manufacturer's instructions found on the tin, it is recommended that a small test area is applied before painting the entire surface to ensure compatibility.

  • Stir thoroughly, for best colour consistency, purchase sufficient tinted paint for each job including touch-in at one time from the same source.
  • Apply 2 coats of Dulux Trade Preservative Primer to all bare wood.
  • Finish with 2 or 3 coats of Dulux Trade Ultimate Opaque applied with a brush only. This product is not suitable for spray application.

Do not use on resinous wood or woodwork with a history of blistering. The maximum benefits will only be realised when used as directed above on good quality timber that conforms to BS EN 942: 2007, in conjunction with good component design.

Not suitable for use on exterior timber where there is severe checking and splitting of the wood caused by long-term exposure.
