    SCANDINAVIAN PAINT

     Technical Information Sheet

    Use Scandinavian Paint Scandinavian Paint is a coloured protective paint for exterior timber. It is especially suitable for the preservation of sawn timber such as fencing and weatherboards and on buildings such as barns and stables.

    Properties Scandinavian Paint Scandinavian Paint has been specially formulated from historic paint recipes using modern paint technology and environmental science. It is a water-based paint made from linseed oil and mineral pigments. It is light fast, water-resistant and weatherproof.

    Colour Available in red, green, blue and brown

    Sizes 5 litre container
    10 litre container

    Coverage Approximately 6 square metres per litre when undiluted. Up to 10m2 when diluted to form a semi opaque stain. Coverage depends on the absorbency and the cut of the timber.

    Preparation The surface must be sound, absorbent and dry. It must also be clean, dust and grease free. For dirty surfaces wire brushing is also recommended to remove algae, mould, etc.
    Application

    Stir well before use. Stirring will break the structure of the paint, allowing easier application.

    Apply with a roller or brush. If required a second coat can be applied this may be necessary on untreated timber. Thin as required with water.

    To create a wash effect you can dilute Scandinavian paint by up to 30% with water.

    Drying Time Touch dry after 2 hours, but allow 3 - 4 hours drying time between coats

    Cleaning Wash brushes with warm water.
    Storage Keep containers tightly sealed in a cool, dry and frost-free place. Shelf life is one year for unopened containers.
    Health & Safety
