Tips

Application methods and amounts specified in Hickson Decor Aqua Breather Paint Wood Paint Technical Data Sheet should be followed during application.

Care should be taken to perform sanding between coats to improve the final appearance, adhere to each other and get the desired performance from the paint.

Hickson Decor Aqua Breather Paint Wood Paint is ready to use, no thinning is required.

It is very important to apply the product to the heads of the wood for good protection. Thus, water repellency will be given to the head parts that receive the most water.

Make sure the wood has rounded edges. Wood paint does not adhere sufficiently in sharp corners and the film thickness remains weak. The possibility of receiving water from this sharp corner may occur, causing the Hickson Decor Aqua Breather Paint Wood Paint to peel off.

In exterior applications, wooden details have to be designed so that they will not accumulate water on their surface where water will flow significantly. So, it will extend the wood paint's service life.

If it is desired to get maximum service life from exterior applications, at least 1 layer of Hickson Decor Aqua Breather paint should be applied to the back parts of the woods too. In this way, the moisture that the wood can receive from the facade and construction will be kept to a minimum and the operation of the wood will be minimized.

Sanding and painting should always be done in the direction of the veins of the wood.

The wood painting should always be started from the top point of the wood and application should be made in areas of 3-5 square meters. If wood paint is to be interrupted during the application, it should be left at the joints of the woods or the ends and sides of the facade. Otherwise, it will ride floor by floor and have visually bad results. Always brush to the last unpainted area applied, and then return to the painted surface and feed the excess paint.

The performance of the wood increases with regular maintenance. Check your exterior wood every two years to provide ideal protection and maintain it if necessary.

On days when the temperature difference between day and night is high, dew may form on the wooden or painted surface. In this case, the surface should be wiped with a dry cloth, cleared of dew and moisture, and the painting process should be started after the surface is completely dry.

The paint may dry on the surface without sufficient absorption by the wood. In addition, brush movement may be complex due to quick-drying and brush marks may occur on the surface. To solve this problem, if the wood paint is thinned more than necessary, the performance of the product decreases.
