Overview

Sikkens Rubbol XD Gloss is a high build, opaque gloss coating for use on all exterior softwood and hardwood joinery and trim, as well as suitably primed metals and hard plastics. Provides outstanding gloss retention. Flexible coating moves with the wood which prevents cracking and peeling.

For an alternative white high gloss finish available in 5L tins, try Sikkens Rubbol AZ Plus
For an opaque satin finish, use Sikkens Rubbol Satura Plus

Preparation

Surfaces should be primed with Sikkens Rubbol Primer Plus prior to application. This ensures even application and coverage with the best possible bond with the substrate to minimise chances of flaking and peeling.

Ensure that timber surfaces to be treated are suitably prepared, clean, dry and free from surface dust, dirt, wax and grease. The moisture content should not exceed 18% prior to coating.

Do not apply if there is a risk of rain, or when air / substrate temperatures are below 5°C or above 30°C during application or drying periods. Protect from frost and rain until dry. Failure to meet these requirements may adversely affect the drying, visual quality and durability of the finish.

Application

Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.

Ensure product is thoroughly stirred before and during application, otherwise sheen and slight colour variations may be experienced. This product does not require thinning, as this will reduce opacity.

Apply using a good quality, long-haired, synthetic bristle brush
The product should be applied in a full flowing coat, laying off in the direction of the grain, using the minimum number of brush strokes necessary to produce an acceptable finish
Avoid over-brushing, as this will reduce the protection afforded
Two coats should be applied, allowing a minimum of 24 hours drying time between coats
Pay special attention to any areas of exposed end grain, tops and bottoms of doors, and undersides of window sills
If the second coat is not applied within 48 hours, light sanding with a medium grade abrasive, to provide a surface key will be required, ensuring all dust is removed afterwards

Aftercare

Maintenance

The need for maintenance is indicated by a lightening in colour and reduction in sheen as the coating erodes, and a loss of water-repellent properties. If this occurs, simply apply a fresh coat of Sikkens Rubbol XD Gloss, following the Preparation and Application instructions above.

It's very good quality

It's very good quality, and great price for 2.5L

Very poor product

Extremely disappointed with this paint. Customer wanted the inside finish to be in white oil based paint. This paint reacted with the undercoat and then reacted coat on coat. Very poor. Since the installation could not be delayed, I now have to pay the interior painter to sort the finish for the customer. Expected better from Sikkens. Won't use them again. Wood Finishes Direct were excellent as always.

Fantastic and shiny

Sikkens XD Gloss applied over sikkens Rubbol Primer has resulted in a truly durable, glossy,quality finish. It can be a little runny to apply so be watchful of any runs. I used it on my front door and it looks amazing.

Best gloss paint on the market.

Have used this gloss paint for years. It stands up to the wind and rain in the area we use it, ( west coast of Scotland) Does what it says on the tin!!

Sikkens Rubbol XD Gloss

Excellent finish. The 8 year life seems quite possible. (Will run easily. Thin coats only needed!)

Excellent quality paint

Very helpful and efficient service at Woodfinishes direct.

Long lasting high gloss exterior paint

Was recommended by a local painter. A little tricky to apply, watch for the runs . Bought for its longevity claim. Applied to external windows. Time will tell

Great coverage, fill well but sometimes runs

For external wood this is probably the best paint I have used, however do be aware that it does run if you apply too much

Again decorator was pleased to be using this.Gives a really shiny gloss for the outdoor job it wa...

First this product has been used on my house .Very impressed with the high gloss result.Chose it for longevity and hope this is true for some high and otherwise inaccessible outdoor areas.

Paint is good quality

Arrived badly damaged still waiting for a refund costumer service not great

Excellent product, probably the best available

What an excellent finish! First time I've used it after much research. Simply followed the manufacturers instructions regarding preparation and application

Fantasic finish

This paint, when used in combination with the undercoat is superb. It gives a really glossy finish which seems not to degrade. I painted a north facing window frame and over a year later got around to doing another. There is almost no difference between the two finishes. Come summer I'll move to south facing windows, but the original finish is still glossy and shows no sign of pitting, algae or splits.

Fantastic finish

Great product have used before and it maintains its finish and stays white.

excellent coverage

easy to use and excellent coverage with a splendid finish

Wouldn't use anything else.

Smooth on and excellent finish. Used to do sash windows. Hoping it stands the test of time like the other Sikkens products I've used.

excellent quality paint

Well worth the extra cost - flows smoothly and evenly from the brush, a pleasure to use. From previous experience, I know that Sikkens Rubbol provides durable, long lasting protection.
