Application Guidelines

# Preparation

- New Wood: To prepare new wood surfaces, allow them to weather for six weeks. After waiting, lightly sand the surface to remove any loose fibres. Wipe using a lint-free cloth slightly dampened with methylated spirit.

- Old Wood: For previously painted or weathered wood, sand down the surface to eliminate any loose paint. Then, clean the surface with white spirit to remove dirt and grease. Ensure to tackle any mould or algae, cutting away any rotten wood if necessary.

- Brick or Stone: Brush away any dust and debris from the surface to ensure a clean area to work with.

- Terracotta: Sand the surface to remove any glaze. If water beads on the surface, continue sanding until it no longer does.

- Metal: Always prime metal surfaces before application, using a grey primer for darker colours and white primer for lighter shades.

# Application Process

Before starting, give the paint a thorough stir to ensure the pigments are well mixed. Test the paint on a small, hidden area to confirm your colour choice. Once satisfied, apply the first coat following the direction of the wood grain if painting wood. Allow four hours for drying before applying additional coats; for the best results, three coats are recommended. If your surface is particularly smooth, lightly sand between the second and third coats.

Aftercare and Maintenance

To help your Ronseal Garden Paint last longer, regularly clean painted surfaces and keep furniture free from dirt. Clean brushes used in application with warm, soapy water. If the finish begins to wear, don’t hesitate to apply a fresh coat to restore its vibrant colour and protective properties.

In summary, Ronseal Garden Paint is more than just a way to beautify your outdoor space; it offers exceptional protection and resilience. Ideal for a range of surfaces and quick to apply, it provides both aesthetic and functional benefits that make it a must-have for your gardening projects.
