Surface preparation

Unpainted surfaces:
Clean surfaces affected by mold and dirt with Tikkurila Homeenpoisto solution . Prime the surface at the earliest possible stage of construction with Tikkurila priming oil. Remove loose resin from knots.

Previously painted surfaces:
Use a scraper to remove any loose material and gray wood from the surface and brush the surface clean with a wire brush. Wash any dirty and moldy surfaces with Tikkurila Homeenpoisto according to instructions. Treat any bare wood surfaces with Tikkurila priming oil.

Painting

First application:
Stir Öljypohja well and apply on bare wood surfaces once by brush. Treat the end grains of the wood with particular care.

Finishing painting is recommended to be performed as soon as possible after priming; however, after 6–10 months at the latest.

Wood contains resin and other staining extracts, particularly around knots, which can cause discoloration or bleeding in the paintedsurface due to variations in temperature and humidity.

Cleaning of tools

Clean tools with White Spirit 1050 or Tikkurila Pensselipesu (Tool Cleaner).
