Bring the timeless charm of the Scandinavian countryside to your home with Auson Red Pine Tar. For centuries, the iconic Falu Red has colored the landscape of Sweden, from rustic cottages to grand farmhouses. Now, you can achieve that same classic, matt red finish with a product that offers far more than just colour.
Unlike conventional paints that sit on the surface and can eventually flake or peel, Auson Red Pine Tar is a natural wood preservative that works with the wood. It penetrates deep into the fibres, becoming a part of the structure itself. This unique quality allows the wood to breathe while providing a powerful shield against the harshest elements. Rain, snow, and harsh UV rays are repelled, preventing the wood from drying out, cracking, and rotting.
Imagine your home, fence, or boathouse not only looking beautiful but also being protected by nature’s own defense system. Auson Red Pine Tar makes it possible. It’s the perfect choice for both new projects and for giving new life to previously painted wood, creating a durable, water-resistant surface that maintains its beauty for years. Forget constant repainting and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a low-maintenance, long-lasting, and truly authentic wood finish.

Stir the can thoroughly before and during use. 3. Apply directly to the wood with a brush. No primer is needed. 4. For easier application on hard or planned wood, you can dilute with 10-20% turpentine or alcohol. 5. Apply 1-2 coats, allowing 1-2 days for drying between coats.

Always paint outdoors and ensure good ventilation. As this is a natural product, colour can vary slightly between batches. If using multiple cans, mix them before starting to provide a uniform colour.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Auson Red Pine Tar and traditional distemper Falu Red paint?
While both provide the classic Falu Red colour, Auson Red Pine Tar is based on pine tar, a natural wood preservative. It penetrates the wood to protect against moisture, UV rays, and rot, and it will not flake. Traditional distemper paint is a less durable coating that offers limited protection.
Can I use Red Pine Tar on wood that has already been painted?
Yes, you can apply it over wood previously treated with distemper paint (Falu Red), tar, or iron vitriol. It’s also perfect for untreated wood. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application.
Do I need to use a primer before applying the Red Pine Tar?
No, a primer is not necessary. You can apply Auson Red Pine Tar directly onto a clean, dry wood surface, saving you time and effort on your project.
How long does the paint take to dry?
Drying time can range from several days to several weeks. It depends on factors like weather conditions, wood type (planed or unplaned), and how well the tar has been absorbed into the wood.
