Abstract
Stain basecoats are being increasingly used by joinery manufacturers. They are dual-purpose products that enable users to finish with either a paint system or a wood stain. Research at BRE has shown a wide disparity in the weather resistance of stain basecoats, which can have major implications for the service life of the applied finishes. This paper, intended for suppliers and users, summarises current BRE advice on stain basecoats. It outlines the results of trials to evaluate the weathering properties of these coatings, and offers guidance on their selection and performance in service.
