Before anything else, be sure to prepare all the things that you will need torepaint your Adirondack chair. These materials include:
Sealer or primer Sanding blocks Paintbrush (2" and 1" ) Exterior-grade paint ( the color depends on your personal choice) Sandpaper and electric sander Box wrenches or screwdrivers RagHere are the steps that you will have to do:
First, bring your chairs in your garage or in any roofed area of your house tokeep them away frommorning dew and rain. Let them stay there for a few days. Check if the Adirondack chairs are completely clean and dry. Start to sand them to smoothen their surface. You can use a hand-held electricsander to sand the surface. To reach out to the spaces between the slats, you canutilize a flexible sanding block. Because using electric sanding tool can tend to loose the screws, check them andtighten them using a wrench or screwdriver. Also check if you already have toreplace the screws. Once completely sanded apply one coat of sealing primer. Use the 2" brush whenapplying the primer to the flat surfaces and use the 1" brush to cover the spacesbetween the slats of your Adirondack furniture. Start applying with the chairpositioned upside down.+- After applying the sealing primer between the slats, reach out to the surfaceunder the chair and wipe down the drips using the rag. Once the bottom part of the chair is dry, flip it over and apply the sealing primeron the upper surface. Do the same thing like you did in step 7. As soon as the primer is already totally dry, turn the chair upside down again.This time, apply the first coat of the exterior-grade paint. Wait for the paint to completely dry before flipping it over again. Apply the first coat of the exterior-grade paint on the upper side of the chair. Repeat steps 8 to 11 to apply the second coat of the of the exterior-grade paint.When applying the primer to your Adirondack patio furniture, be sure to coateverything especially the corners to avoid water from penetrating to the wood. Besure every part that is exposed to water and moisture are properly primed.
