Aimo

Matte, waterborne, plastic-free oil paint that breathes for outdoor use.

Unpainted and previously painted wooden walls, log surfaces, trim boards, fences, and other outdoor wooden structures

Clean the surface from dirt, loose material, and poorly adhering old paint. Wash dirty surfaces primarily with Hagmans Painter's Wash according to the instructions. If the surface has a lot of algae growth, combine the cleaning with Hagmans Algae Wash according to the instructions.

New, untreated or industrially primed wooden surface:
• Prime once with Virtasen Aimo Täckfärg. If necessary, dilute with no more than 10% water
• Surface paint 1–2 times with undiluted paint.
Old previously painted wooden surface:
• Prime the bare wooden surfaces once with Virtasen Aimo Täckfärg. If necessary, dilute with no more than 10% water.
• Surface paint 1–2 times with undiluted paint.
New (less than 3 years old) timber or solid wood surface:
• Smooth surfaces should be roughened with sandpaper to ensure adhesion.
• Paint a layer of undiluted Virtasen Aimo Täckfärg, approx. 8 m²/litre.
• Paint the second layer 3–10 years after the first painting. On sunny sides can
the painting, if necessary, is already done after 2 years.
• On new log houses, only one layer is painted, because fresh solid wood contains a lot of resin and extractive substances. The paint layer is left thin so that the resin and extractives can evaporate as well as possible through the paint.
• Note! This instruction only applies when painting new solid, lamella or round timber as well as CLT wooden constructions, etc. with a thickness over 80 mm.

The paint reaches its final hardness and durability under normal conditions in about 4 weeks. After that, the painted surface can be easily cleaned by wiping. Use a damp cleaning cloth, a soft sponge, or similar tools. Coarse brushing, strong cleaning agents, and vigorous scrubbing should be avoided.
