All of the old and cracking caulk was removed using a Hamilton precision scraper.
Old peeling and flaking paint was scraped and the areas were sanded.
Edges of peeling paint were treated with Zinsser Peel Stop.
Sadolin ‘Teak’ woodfiller was used on all of the areas shown.
Once the filler had dried, a thorough sanding took place in order to smooth the area.
Before any painting could take place, the entire door and frame were cleaned with a cloth dampened with methylated spirits in order to remove any surface dust.
2 coats of Sadolin classic stain in ‘Burma Teak’ were applied, this acted like a Primer would, sealing the filler in and preventing any bleed-out and lighter, patchy areas.
The job was finished with 3 coats of Sadolin extra durable stain, this was used as a top coat which also acts like a barrier to prevent from UV damage and other weather elements.
