We recommend applying at least one coat of your chosen coating before installation. This can initially raise the grain which would then require a light sand. When fixing using panel pins, this first coat will also help when filler is applied into the panel pin holes, creating a barrier for the filler to sit on. When lining ceiling or hard to access areas, the more coats that can be applied before installation, the better. Once installed the final coat can be applied. If used as a soffit or porch lining LOSP H3.1 treated panels are recommended. Check compatibility with the coating and ensure the coating is suitable for exterior applications. Do not use smooth faced plywood in exposed exterior environments.
Coatings with a high water content such as water based spray paint should be avoided.
