Preparation
The surface to be treated must be suitably prepared, clean sound and dry, and free from any contaminates that may affect the absorption of the preservative treatment.
- All previous coatings should be completely removed.
- Grey timber must be mechanically sanded back to a bare clean surface.
- Remove resinous deposits with a scrapper, any remaining resinous residues should be removed using clean, lint-free cloths, dampened with methylated spirits.
Application
It is recommended to perform a test patch on a small area of the surface to be painted to ensure you are happy with the finished results. Do not apply if there is a risk of rain, or when temperatures are below 8°C.
- Apply by brush or short time immersion (dipping or deluging, for 3-10 minutes).
- Supplied ready to use, do not thin.
- Apply 2 liberal coats, until saturation is reached and the wood will no longer absorb any more preservative treatment.
- Pay special attention to end grains and joints.
- Allow 24 hours between applications.
- For full weather protection apply a suitable paint, stain or varnish once the final coat is dry.
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions found on the tin.
