Staining

Stains can appear across both solvent and water based products, causing a discolouration to the final finish.

The Issue

Stains can appear across both solvent and water based products, causing a discolouration to the final finish.

The Cause

Stains can appear for a number of reason such as timber extractives, nicotine, water staining, tar.

The Solution

Remove as much of the contamination as possible by rubbing down the surface using a suitable abrasive tool or paper. Using a correct primer is the key to keeping stains at bay, take a look at some of our suggestions below with a direct link to each product featured at the bottom of the page.
