Ronseal Garden Paint

To apply, firstly make sure dry conditions are forecast and the temperature will remain above 10°C.  New wood needs time to weather - typically around 6 weeks.  After this time lightly sand the surface then wipe with a lint free cloth dampened with Methylated Spirit.

Older wood should be sanded then wiped down with White Spirit to remove any surface grease.  If a higher level of protection is needed then firstly treat the wood with a preservative.  If there are any holes or imperfections they should be filled with either Ronseal High Performance Wood Filler or Ronseal Multipurpose Wood Filler prior to painting.  It is good practice to treat any exposed end grains with a protector as these can be major ingress points for water.

Sheds or fences can be prepared with a stiff wire brush.  If applying to brick or stone, simply brush away any loose dirt and wipe clean. To prepare Terracotta, lightly sand to remove any glaze until water no longer beads on the surface.  On metal, use a grey primer before applying darker colours and white primer if using lighter colours.

Stir the tin well and brush on (in the direction of the grain if applying to wood) then allow 4 hours before the next coat.  If applying to a smooth surface, sand lightly between the second and third coats.  Should the finish begin to look worn over time, simply apply a single fresh coat.
