Application

After cleaning with either a suitable cleaner or for areas where there is green growth use Centrecoat GS36 before applying the Barn Paint. Bedec Barn Paint does not require a primer and can be applied by brush, roller or spray and is touch dry within two hours. Make sure the surface is clean, dry and free from contaminants before the application process is begun. For the first coat, when applying to untreated weathered wood, new wood, cement render, plaster, brick work or any porous substrate, add up to 30% clean water. This is used as a primer sealer before 2 full coats of undiluted Bedec Barn Paint is applied. It is advised that 2 coats of Bedec Interior/Exterior Stain Block are applied to knot’s before the application of Bedec Barn Paint, this will reduce the rate that knots will appear through the Barn Paint. Do not apply at temperatures below 10°C and make sure the product is stirred thoroughly before use. After four hours, the product should be able to be re-coated with another layer of Bedec Barn Paint. Please note, if you are using this product on tanalised timber a light sanding is recommended prior to painting.
