How Do I Paint Interior Beech?Updated 2 years ago
Beech is a versatile, cost-effective, and widely used hardwood in construction. Painting this timber is a simple process, provided 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.
