  • Deck Prep Sharkskin
    General Deck Staining Tips NEW DECKS TIPS • Select dry lumber. If possible use kiln dried lumber with moisture content less than 16%. Paint the deck boards as soon as possible as checking and splitting can occur within days of exposure to warm dry air. • If staining your deck with 724 Series SharkSkin® solid hide stain, prime all 6 sides of each deck board with 15130 Alkyd Stain Blocking Primer prior to installation to prevent moisture ingress into the underside of the deck. Trimmed boards should be primed while still accessible. A ground-level moisture ® barrier beneath the deck is also recommended for grade or near grade level decks in damp areas. • New Cedar decks that will be stained to lighter colours must be primed with a coat of 15130 Alkyd or 05130 Acrylic Stain Blocking Primer to protect against tannin stain bleeding through the topcoat. • Woods such as Pine and Yellow Cedar that are prone to mill glaze should be treated with SharkSkin® 80319 Mill Glaze Remover (follow label directions) or SharkSkin aggressively sand using 60 grit paper. • If possible, install the deck boards so that the growth rings are arching up and not down so if cupping occurs, water will drain o the boards as opposed to ponding in the center of the board. • Pressure treated woods should be allowed to dry for 2 – 4 weeks prior to installation depending on temperature and humidity conditions preferably away from direct sunlight. Pre-prime all 6 sides as per above only if staining with 724 Series SharkSkin® solid hide stain. Priming is not required when using 725 Series SharkSkin® translucent wood stain.

  • Varnishing Than with Any Other Stage of the Painting Process
    INFO SHEET 301 UPDATED JULY 2016 VA R NISHING We get more questions about varnishing than with any other stage of the painting process. Varnishing should be an almost mechanical process undertaken to give your painting a protective coating with the surface quality you prefer (gloss, satin, etc.) and possibly an enhancement of colour contrast. But, if you leave it till the last moment and use a varnish you are not used to, you can ruin the work you are trying to protect. Anxiety and disappointment can be avoided easily if you do sample pieces using the same materials as the painting and varnish them, not the painting, until you get the effect you wanted. Water-based varnishes are tricky to apply and not removable if you dislike the effect, so we suggest they should only be used by artists who have already tried the above experiment. CHROMA SOLVENT FINISHING VARNISHES We recommend and prefer our Chroma Solvent Finishing Varnishes, because they can be used on all our Chroma paint brands, Atelier Interactive, Jo Sonja’s or Archival Oils. Application of all these varnishes is by brush (a broad house paint brush), and clean up is with mineral spirits. If applying multiple coats, allow 24 hours drying time between applications. Choose from these finishes: Gloss Solvent Finishing Varnish • Apply as is for a full gloss, usually one coat. To reduce gloss add Invisible Varnish to your taste. Try 2 parts varnish to 1 part Invisible Varnish, up to 1:1 for less sheen. NOTE: The new varnishes have an anti-mould additive which is diluted if you add turpentine, so to maintain the mould protection for tropical conditions dilute with Invisible Varnish instead.
