Customer reviews
Already quite a large number of people were able to use and appreciate the quality of Pinotex Ultra. Reviews about the product are generally positive, but there are those who claim that the quality of the product does not justify its value. It should be remembered that to achieve the best result, it is necessary to strictly adhere to the recommendations of the manufacturer. Such a coating should not be applied to a dusty surface infected with a fungus, or to one that has previously been stained. Pinotex does not warrant that in the event of such errors, painting will be fully effective. Before using the product, properly prepare the surface to be treated.
Surface preparation
“Pinotex Ultra” must be applied to a clean and well-dried surface. If the tree has pollution in the form of dust or fungus, then they should be disposed of. You can wash the surface with water and detergents, and then dry well. If the material has fungal damage, then these areas are well cleaned with a brush, washed with a disinfectant and only after that they start painting. If the surface was previously painted, then the paint layer must be removed. To do this, you can use special tools to remove paints, remove the paint with a hot hairdryer or clean it with a metal brush or scraper. All metal elements should also be cleaned and rusted, unless they are galvanized. The surface containing the knots with resin must be cleaned with a solvent and varnished with knots. It is preferable to apply the material with a primer for wood before applying Pinotex Ultra . This will enhance the adhesion of the paint-varnish to the surface, and therefore, will increase the quality of processing. After the surface has been processed, you need to let it dry thoroughly for a day, and only then apply the composition.
Dyeing
The composition is applied to the surface in 1-2 layers, it is better to use a brush for this. The tool is completely ready for use and does not require any additives. Before application, shake the Pinotex Ultra paint well. You can choose a variety of colors, guided by a special color map, or mix a few to get the original tone. Darker tones can be achieved by applying the composition in several layers, carefully drying each. You can dilute the selected color with the colorless composition of “Pinotex Ultra” and thereby obtain a lighter tone.
