Sikkens: the right color

Symptoms

The coating adheres insufficiently to the
substrate or previous coats.

Cause

  • Unsuitable primer applied
  • Wrong product
  • Damp substrate during painting
  • Contaminated substrate (not
    cleaned or degreased)
  • Weathered timber not removed
    before coating
  • Previous Coating Unstable

Solution

Coating layers that are not sound should be removed. 
Substrate problem should be addressed (cleaning, degreasing, sanding etc.).  Apply a new, suitable coating system.
