Surface Preparation
Recommended Substrate Conditions and Temperatures
Substrate conditions
- Previous coat must be dry and free from any contamination
- Old existing sound coating; sufficiently roughened, dry and cleaned
Substrate Temperature & Application Conditions
- Substrate temperature during application should be above 5°C (41°F)
- Substrate temperature during application should be at least 3°C (5°F) above dew point
Application
Instructions for Use
- Stir well before use
- The temperature of the paint should preferably be above 15°C (59°F), otherwise extra thinner may be required to obtain application viscosity
- Adding too much thinner results in reduced sag resistance
- Adequate ventilation must be maintained during application and curing (please refer to INFORMATION SHEETS 1433 and 1434)

Questions
Question about the product
Chris Jeffery on 2022-01-02 16:09:14 | Question:
Would this be suitable for painting my Lugarde summer house. I believe they use Sigma paint. Thanks. |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
We wouldn’t recommend this product for your application, assuming the timber is clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet we can recommend Zanders PF59 Stain Blocking Primer Finish followed by Wethertex OT25 Wood-Flex Satin Opaque Timber Paint for this application. This is available in many RAL and BS colours in matt finish. | |
