VINDO Natural Gloss Paint No. 629 does not contain fungicides, in case of rough sawn timber, danger of blue-staining fungi. Their appearance depends on the surface roughness, sun- and weather side, moisture content, and natural cover etc. Possible fungi growth should be removed. Tropical woods such as merbau, afzelia, jatoba, true mahogany and also indigenous oak should not be painted with VINDO White because of possible discoloration due to incompatibilities in the wood.
