How Do I Paint Interior Beech?
Beech is a versatile cost-effective and widely used hardwood in construction. Painting this timber is a simple process providing it is well seasoned to prevent movement after painting and stain blocking is undertaken.
- Because beech is a hardwood it is always advisable to degrease the surface with Tikkurila cleaning agent in order to remove any wood oils that may be present
- On previously painted timber remove any loose, flaking paint with a scraper, sand and feather off any edges.
- Sand hard, glossy and industrially painted surfaces matt. Remove sanding dust. Fill holes and cracks with Spakkeli Furniture Putty or Rapid Filler and sand the filled parts.
