Pre-primed timber and previously painted surfaces: 

• Occasionally an apparently sound old paint will lose adhesion when recoated, particularly if the new paint is darker in colour. 

• To avoid this, check the adhesion of the old paint by cutting an 'X' through a clean area of the film with a sharp knife, press cellulose tape firmly across the cut and rip it off. 

• If the old paint comes off with the tape it should be removed before repainting. 

• Scrape off all loose and flaking paint.

• Fill any cracks or holes with a suitable filler. 

• Sand all surfaces to a flat finish and remove greyed timber. 

• Dust off. 

• Spot prime any bare areas with Dulux Timbacryl.
