Features of applying putties for wood
Facade putty for outdoor work with any composition should be applied to a prepared base, which requires cleaning it from dirt, grease stains and dust. One should not hope that the formed layer will be able to block other components that are not made of wood. Even epoxy putty will not be able to do this, despite the fact that it has a wide range of uses. This is due to the fact that water, grease and debris will tear away the applied layer and will not allow it to enter into molecular interaction with lumber.
In order to remove the remnants of old paint, use the mechanical method. This includes metal scrapers, industrial hair dryers, as well as a grinder. As an alternative solution, you can use a metal brush that is worn on a drill or grinder.

When putty for wood for painting is applied to a wooden surface, it is best to use thick formulations. In any case, the application should be carried out with a rubber spatula, but you can use a metal tool, which, however, is less convenient.
