Resene Broadwall 3 in 1
surfacer, sealer, finish coating - interior - waterborne
Environmental Choice approved
Ranchsliders, massive windows, super smooth finishes and monolithic walls are a headache for many causing critical light conditions and less than perfect finishes on walls as the glancing light shines a spotlight on any surface imperfections. Often the problem is only evident for a short period each day when the light is at a certain angle. The situation is made worse when the level of finish is insufficient, such as a Level 4 finish when a Level 5 finish is needed. To achieve a Level 5 finish the entire surface of the paperfaced plasterboard and stopping should be skimcoated. This can be achieved by brush or roller with Resene Broadwall Surface Prep or by specialist spray application with Resene Broadwall 3 in 1.

Resene Broadwall 3 in 1 is designed for use over stopped and jointed wall systems in place of traditional surfacers and sealers. It equalises surface porosities; smoothes minor surface irregularities; minimises textural differences. A key element to achieving a Level 5 finish on paperfaced plasterboard. Suitable for use as a surfacer, sealer, and finish coat on ceilings in dry areas tinted to a range of popular Resene off-white and neutral colours.

Voted best new product by the Master Painters NZ in 2007.

Typical uses: Air-dry (polymer based) stoppings and finishing compounds, gypsum based stoppings and finishing compounds, paperfaced plasterboard (GIB®, Gyprock®), timber and reconstituted timber products.

Elastomeric Resene Brushable Crack Filler is a convenient way to deal with small cracks in concrete buildings, which may still be cyclically moving up to 25%. It is designed to handle cracks up to a maximum of 2mm wide before overcoating with the recommended paint system. Simple application of multiple coats of Resene Brushable Crack Filler across the crack will resolve the imperfection and banish it from view with a minimum of fuss.

Typical uses: Cementitious surfaces

Resene Limelock
cure and seal semi-transparent gloss preparatory coating - exterior - waterborne
Environmental Choice approved
Resene Limelock is a new preparatory coating used for the curing and sealing of cementitious substrates. It promotes cure by producing a water barrier, which unlike traditional curing membranes, may be overcoated with waterborne finishes at any stage. Its ability to cure and seal the substrate eliminates the need to leave the plaster to cure for seven days before painting. When dark, heat absorbing topcoats are planned, it is still prudent to wait seven days before painting. Resene Limelock traps free lime in the cementitious substrate protecting the paint finish against the appearance of unsightly lime staining, and providing a perfect base for subsequent Resene finishes.

Typical uses: Cementitious surfaces, including concrete, render, stucco and thin layer polymer modified plaster.

flat waterborne enamel paint - interior - waterborne

Extensive testing by an accredited laboratory has shown significant reductions in the number and size of fly spots compared to standard paint systems.

Musca domestica, the housefly, is a well known cosmopolitan pest responsible for transporting disease carrying organisms and damaging surfaces. When resting, adults regurgitate a liquid that results in spots on the surface combined with other darker spots, both of which can be difficult to remove without damaging the paint surface. The flies are inactive at night and tend to congregate on ceiling areas. The less flies sit, the fewer and smaller the fly spotting.

Resene SpaceCote Flat Fly Deterrent combines all the benefits and performance of Resene SpaceCote with the added bonus of reduced fly spotting. Available exclusively from Resene in white and a wide range of colours off white.

Typical uses: Architraves, ceilings, plywood, skirtings, wallboards, window frames.

Resene Colorwood
clear and coloured natural wood stain - interior - waterborne
Environmental Choice approved
Resene Colorwood is an exciting way of treating natural timbers and enhancing the grain. Gives coloured timbers with the see-through look as it allows the natural grain of all timbers to show through.

All colours can be intermixed, allowing you to create your own colours – always keep a note of any intermix recipes so you can recreate them if you need more. The finished colour is influenced by the timber colour itself, the denseness of the timber and the length of time the stain is left before the excess is wiped off. Always test Resene Colorwood on a small off-cut of timber to ensure the desired colour is being achieved. Strong colours may be difficult to achieve on hardwood and heart timbers due to lack of penetration. If the selected colour is too strong, reduce with Resene Colorwood Reducing Base.

Resene Colorwood is very easy to apply by brush or rag. For best results, wipe excess Resene Colorwood off with a dry, absorbent, lint free cloth, rubbing along the grain. This also ensures maximum adhesion of topcoats.

Overcoating is recommended to ensure the timber is protected and to maximise the longevity of the finish. Resene Colorwood is easily overcoated with Resene Aquaclear, Resene Qristal ClearFloor 1K, Resene Qristal Polyurethanes or Resene Polythane.

Typical uses: Canework, cork, doors, dressed and rough sawn timber, fibre and particle board, furniture, kitset and nursery furniture, panelling, rope, timber (imported and native), timber ceilings and beams, window and door frames.

Neither does justice to any home or project exterior and they can both easily be remedied by the application of Resene Waterborne Woodsman.

Decorators will enjoy the quick and easy water clean up and the absence of the solvent fumes and VOCs associated with traditional solventborne stains. Easy to apply with minimal surface preparation required. Formulated with powerful fungicides for improved mould resistance.

Stains are transparent, so the final finish colour will depend on the nature of the timber being stained. Stains applied to light woods will appear much stronger and brighter in colour than stains applied to dark wood. As with any finishing project – regardless of the products being used – always go through the entire finishing process using scraps from the project before committing to the colour. Preferred colours can be easily tested on a representative piece of wood using Resene Waterborne Woodsman testpots.

Resene Waterborne Woodsman CoolColour™
coloured penetrating oil stain - exterior - waterborne
Environmental Choice approved
Resene Waterborne Woodsman is a waterborne woodstain matching the needs of timber to the desire to achieve the most natural appearance possible. Resene CoolColour technology performs optimally on dark colours that are the most prone to heat build-up. Designed for exterior timber in a wide range of colours. Resene does not recommend clear stains on exterior timber as it does not provide sufficient protection for the timber against the weather. Easy to apply with minimal surface preparation required. Formulated with powerful fungicides for improved mould resistance.

Like pigmented CoolColour hues, Resene Waterborne Woodsman CoolColour finishes retain their normal visible colour but reflect heat from the surface, reducing stress on the coating and substrate and subsequent heat related damage improving the longevity of each. The technology also minimises build up of unwanted heat in the building reducing airconditioning and cooling costs. In short, the colour looks the same as normal but reflects much more heat than normal so doesn't get as hot as the standard colour would.

Those who remember the introduction of the then new Cricket NZ black shirts will remember discussions of the new technology that stopped the shirts absorbing the heat a black shirt normally would, a heat that would be unbearable for cricket players. Resene CoolColour paint technology works on a similar premise, but instead of protecting cricketer's backs Resene CoolColour technology protects houses and buildings instead.

Resene CoolColour technology is generally best suited to colours that have black in their make-up as these tend to absorb the most heat.

Typical uses: Beams, fences, plywood and profiled sheets, timber - dressed and rough sawn, weatherboards. New formula version can be used on exterior wooden furniture.
