Surfaces must be sound, clean and dry before treating.
Remove all loose and defective coatings, if necessary stripping back to bare wood.
Remove and treat any mould, algae, lichen or moss with *Weathershield Multi-Surface Fungicidal Wash.
Remove defective glazing material, clean the rebates and any loose or open joints.
Replace any rotten wood and troublesome knots with new timber.
Thoroughly rub down previously painted surfaces, using ‘wet flatting’ methods where possible, then wipe off with a damp, lint free cloth.

Apply 1 or 2 coats of a suitable knotting solution to any remaining knots in the wood.

Prime all bare wood with 1 coat of **Weathershield Aquatech Preservative Basecoat+, including any new or bare replacement beading. Excess primer should be wiped off surrounding paintwork. Prime any bare metal with 1 coat of Dulux Trade Metal Primer. When painting plastic rainwater goods etc. apply 1 coat of Weathershield Quick Drying Satin thinned 10% with water direct to the surface.

Fill any surface defects, open joints etc. and replace any missing glazing material.

New joinery is often factory primed using a stain basecoat (also called a dual-purpose primer). These materials quickly erode when left exposed and may need to be re-primed.

Stir thoroughly before use.

Apply 1 coat of the appropriate coloured Weathershield Quick Drying Exterior Undercoat to all primed wood.

Apply a second coat of Weathershield Quick Drying Exterior Undercoat, followed by 1 coat of Weathershield Quick Drying Satin. Where a strong colour change is involved, 2 coats may be required.

Allow a minimum of 2 hours before overcoating Weathershield Quick Drying Exterior Undercoat.

Do not use when the temperature is below 10°C or outside when there is a likelihood of rain, fog or frost.

When painting resinous wood or woodwork with a history of blistering it is advisable to use light colours only, particularly on south facing elevations. The maximum benefits of this system will only be realised when used as directed above on good quality timber that conforms to BS EN 942: 1996, in conjunction with good component design.
