Decorate denatured timber effectively requires the right preparation and priming, due to its friable nature. Here we show you how it’s done.
All surfaces must be clean, dry and free from anything that will interfere with the adhesion of the materials to be applied. Remove loose and failing material by scraping and or the use of a hot air stripper to a sound edge. Feather sound edges with a fine grade abrasive paper.
Prior to painting, the moisture content should not exceed 12%. Remove all dust. Remove all visible signs of organic growth and treat the areas with Zinsser Mould Killer. Allow to dry.
Fill any cracks and small surface defects with a suitable filler in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Allow to dry. Rub down with a fine grade abrasive paper. Remove all dust.
For areas with sound paint, clean down with Zinsser Universal Cleaner & Degreaser to remove any contaminants. Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove all residues. Allow to dry.
Prime overall with one full coat of Peel Stop® in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Allow a minimum drying time of 2 hours in normal drying conditions. Coat with one full coat of Bulls Eye® 1-2-3 Primer Sealer in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Allow a minimum drying time of 1 hour in normal drying conditions.
Decorate with two full coats of AllCoat® Exterior Satin or Gloss in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Allow a minimum drying time of one hour between coats.
