Bare wood
Lightly sand the wood to give it an even finish. Use 120 grit sandpaper and sand in the direction of the woodgrain. Remember to wear a facemask. Clean up dust and wipe down with a damp cloth. Fill any holes or cracks with our Wood Filler.

Previously painted wood
If your previously painted wood is in good condition, then you'll need to give it a sand using 120 grit sandpaper, making sure there is no loose or flaking paint. Use 120 grit sandpaper and sand in the direction of the woodgrain. Make sure you wear a facemask and wipe down the wood with a damp cloth. Fill any holes or cracks with our Wood Filler. Special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1960s paint surfaces over wood as they may contain harmful lead.

Previously stained wood

You'll need to put on 2 coats (3 coats on floors). Leave 2 hours between each coat. Give the surface a light sand with 240 grit sandpaper and wipe away any dust with a damp cloth before putting on the last coat.

If you're painting a floor, you'll be able to walk on the floor in 8 hours. Leave 24 hours before bringing the furniture back in and be careful not to scrape on the floor. After 72 hours it'll be tough enough to stand up to all of the everyday knocks and scuffs.

Take as much of the coating off your brush or pad as you can and then wash in warm, soapy water.

Don't empty any left over product into drains or watercourses. Your local authority may have special ways to get rid of waste coastings.
