PREPARATION: All surfaces must be clean, dry and free from dirt, grease or surface contamination.  Previously painted wood and metal surfaces must be thoroughly abraded to provide suitable adhesion.  Avoid the inhalation of dust.  Wear a suitable face mask if dry sanding.  Fill all voids and gaps with a suitable exterior filler.  Apply one coat of Sandtex 10 year Primer Undercoat, followed by one or two coats of Sandtex 10 year Exterior Gloss.  

For bare wood: Ensure wood is dry and treat knots and resinous parts with a knotting solution.  Apply one coat of Sandtex 10 year Primer Undercoat, followed by one or two coats of Sandtex 10 year Exterior Gloss. 

Special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1960's paint surfaces as they may contain harmful lead.  For further advice contact the manufacturer.  Do not apply if there is a risk of rain or frost or if the temperature is likely to fall below 8°C during drying.

APPLICATION: Stir thoroughly before use.  If you're using more than one pack of paint in the same area, mix together in a large container to ensure you get consistency of colour.  Please always check for colour accuracy prior to application.  Always intermix packs for colour consistency.  Apply by brush.  Apply evenly and avoid overspreading.  For best results 2 coats are recommended.  Allow at least 16 hours drying time between coats.  Clean brushes immediately after use with a proprietary cleaner.  This product will provide up to 10 years protection provided the above instructions are fully carried out under normal conditions and that the substrate is sound.
