Key Technical Data
Installation Guide
Priming: For timber which has not been painted before priming can be done by using the Auro Hard Primer 127 or by thinning out the first coat of woodstain with 20% water. Certain Wood types can cause tannin, discolouration and drying delays these should be primed with Auro Special Primer 117.
Interior Painting: 1 or 2 coats of the woodstain should then be applied unthinned with a light sanding in between coats. The woodstain can be used on all wood types and wood-based materials.
Exterior Painting: Priming should be done as outlined above. 3 Coats of Woodstain should be applied with a light sanding in between coats on exterior surfaces. The clear does not have UV protection so therefore is not suitable for external use. Garden sheds, window frames, doors, garden furniture are some popular choices for the Woodstain. Some of the bright colours are a popular choice for customers who are painting beehives. It has excellent weather resistance and UV protection so suited for our Irish climate.
Renovation: The renovation process is very simple, a light sanding before reapplying the Auro Woodstain 160 is all that is needed before getting it looking like new again.
It is very easy to apply by brush, roller or by spraying. Coverage is up to 13sq/m per litre. We recommend leaving 24 hours in between coats. 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. Orange oil 191 can be used if necessary.
