How Do I Paint Exterior Ash?

Ash is a light hardwood used externally generally for cladding and weatherboard

• Clean down as required using Tikkurila Cleaning agent or similar to remove any grease oil or other contamination. It is advised to apply a stain-blocking primer to untreated ash prior to top coating.  
• If previously painted, remove any loose, flaking paint with a scraper and feather off any edges. 
• Sand hard, glossy and industrially painted surfaces matt. Remove sanding dust. Fill holes and cracks and sand the filled parts.
