Patio Paint Note:
This is a self-sealing exterior paint. Therefore, no prior preparation is needed, except for sanding when working on wood. For other surfaces, follow directions on label. Patio Paints may be used on all porous surfaces such as concrete, terra cotta, wood, plaster, etc. Because of the self-sealing agents, they do not require a varnish upon completion. They also have an extended open time (take longer to dry) to make antiquing possible. (I prefer to use Clear Coat as a medium for thinning and floating Patio Paints.)
