How Do I Paint Interior Ash?
Ash is a light hardwood used extensively in joinery and furniture manufacturing
- 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.
