Use on exterior wood only. Do not paint the interior, benches or backrests. Follow the painting guide alongside your sauna assembly instructions: paint the shell and separate exterior trim before installing the door, trim and roof covering. Apply at least two coats and allow the paint to dry before final assembly.
Published drying times are 3 hours before recoating and 24 hours to fully dry. Follow the container instructions and allow for site conditions.
Published coverage is approximately 116–175 sq ft per can on sawn wood and 232–291 sq ft per can on planed wood. Coverage varies with the surface and application; budget for at least two coats rather than treating a single-coat figure as finished coverage.
