Having heard lots of comments about the Rubbol Satura plus i thought it was time i tried it for myself, the job for the day was a wood canopy above a front door to a cottage. The canopy had previously been coated with some form of stain and varnish which over the years had flaked quite badly, the entire canopy was sanded with a 60 grade oxide paper taking it back to almost bare timber. Primer of choice for this was Zinsser cover stain we thinned the first coat very slightly and allowed to dry followed by a full coat. We then applied 2 coats of the Satura plus sanding lightly between coats, we found it quite easy to apply not too thick and covered very well, it dried to a lovely smooth bright White finish. Initially it was quite shiny but over 3 to 4 days it has developed into more of a Satin finish resembling new upvc windows or Facing boards. Will have to keep an eye on it over the years for durability but, being Sikkens it should not be a problem.
Overall an excellent paint !
