Preparation

Make sure that the surface is sound, clean, dry and free from grease.

Use a fine waterproof abrasive paper to rub down any bare timber to remove any sharp edges or raised grains.
Apply Knotting Solution to knots and resinous surfaces.
Use a fine waterproof abrasive paper to provide a key if you're painting previously painted surfaces. Wear a suitable face mask if dry sanding. Pre-1960s paint removal over wood and metal need special precautions as they may contain harmful lead.

Application

Always perform a test on a small inconspicuous area to ensure compatibility, and we recommend following the manufacturer's instructions found on the tin.

Stir well before use. Apply generously by brush or roller, firmly into the surface.
Be sure to treat the end grain as wel as the main surface of any timber.
If you are applying a gloss finish, add a second coat of the Leyland Acrylic Primer Undercoat, which makes a great undercoat for the gloss paint.
Apply in temperatures of 10 degrees celsius or above and avoid applying when it's likely to rain.
