Tikkurila Ultra Classic

Описание: Plenty of prep, plenty of painting & plenty of sunshine (and the odd little shower here & there… well it is England after all 🤷‍♂️😬)

The failed previous paint coating was an oil based exterior eggshell finish from a popular designer brand. However I can’t say for certain who or what is definitely at fault for it’s failure… the previous painters, the paint itself or something else entirely? One potential issue ruled out was trapped moisture as wood moisture reader measurements were all sound.
The client wasn’t too keen on using the same product again just in case any similar future issues should occur but wanted to keep the same colour. So with the help and advice from some very helpful painter & decorator chums over on Twitter, I was recommended the Tikkurila Ultra system of Ultra primer and Ultra classic semi—matt water based finish. And what a great recommendation 👌 The colour match was spot on, nice flow to it and finish using twofussyblokes

A few epoxy resin repairs were required using timbabuild to repair rot damage, splits, splice in new sections of timber and also to fill in some of the worst exposed wood knots that I drilled out to prevent any further resin bleed.
