Technical Details
Key Technical Data
Installation Guide
Most bare timber can be painted by firstly priming with the Satin Paint 517 diluted with 5% water. We recommend a very light sanding in between coats using 220 grit sand paper. The following coats should then be applied un-thinned.
Some woods contain active substances which can leave staining, tanning or lead to drying delays. (oak, chestnut, larch, red cedar, meranti are some examples) for these types of wood it is recommended that the Auro Colour For Life Paint Primer 510 is used as a primer coat. Even if unsure what the timber is the primer can be used on all timber.
If in doubt about what your wood is, this primer can be used on all wood.
The Auro Satin Paint 517 can also be used on metal but only after priming with the Auro Rust Protection Primer 519
It is very easy to apply by brush, roller or by spraying. It is quick drying, it will be dust dry after 2 hours and recoatable after 6 hours. Generally 2 – 3 coats are desired. If painting over a previously painted surface, a light sanding would be desired, and it is good practice to test a small area before undertaking any large job for compatibility.
Tools should be cleaned with water and Auro Plant Soap 411.
