Preparation
Ensure that surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dirt and grease, as these can affect adhesion.
For new or stripped woodwork, sand the surface smooth using glass paper.
For bare wood, treat any knots or resinous areas with a knotting solution or stain blocker.
Previously painted surfaces should be sanded to create a suitable surface for the primer and undercoat to adhere to.
Fill any voids or gaps with an appropriate filler, such as Polycell Wood Filler, for general repairs.
Application
Do not apply if rain is expected or if temperatures are likely to drop below 8°C during application or drying. We recommend conducting a test patch to ensure satisfaction with the final appearance.
Thoroughly stir the product and apply generously and evenly using a synthetic brush or high-quality medium pile roller.
Allow 4-6 hours drying time between coats; we advise applying two coats for optimal results.
For the best finish, use Sandtex Rapid Dry Plus Paint in Satin or Gloss as a top coat.

FAQ
All of our C16 and C24 graded timber is regularised
Regularised timber is timber that has been processed to have a uniform shape and size. This means that the wood has been sawn and planed to remove any irregularities and ensure that each piece of wood has consistent dimensions. Regularised timber is often used in construction, particularly in the framing of buildings, as it is easier to work with and can be more efficiently installed than irregularly shaped timber.
We have one of the largest ranges of timber lengths, dimensions and grades available to buy online.
The variation you require will determine the exact lead time and delivery method.
Most orders arrive within 3-4 days, the maximum is 7 days. Please get in touch before you order if you need a specifc delivery date.
