Additional information
A high performance water-based woodstain. This product combines a high performance solid colour with all of the benefits of a premium quality woodstain.

It is quick drying and protects exterior wood for up to 10 years if used in accordance with instructions. Suitable for hardwoods and softwoods.
Preparation
To get the best results, ensure surfaces to be treated are sound, clean and dry. Remove all loose and defective coatings and previous paintwork, if necessary stripping back to bare wood. Special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1960s paint surfaces over wood and metal as they may contain harmful lead. 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 all surfaces in the direction of the grain to remove any grey, weathered wood and surface sheen from remaining coatings, and then dust off (refer to COSHH Assessment). Fill any surface defects, open joints, etc. and replace any missing glazing material. Do not use linseed oil putty for glazing (or making good) with natural wood finishes, use external beads set in an appropriate non-setting mastic or a special glazing compound. When using Dulux Trade Quick Dry Opaque, treat any knots and resinous areas by removing resin
Application
- Brush only. Do not spray.
- Stir thoroughly before use.
- After suitable preparation and priming, in the case of bare wood with the appropriate basecoat (see datasheet), apply 2 coats of Dulux Trade Quick Dry Opaque.
- For best colour consistency, purchase sufficient tinted paint for each job including touch-in at one time from the same source.
