Timber surfaces to be treated must be suitably prepared, clean, sound and dry. The moisture content should not exceed 18% prior to coating.

1. Any previous coatings should be completely removed
2. Grey denatured timber must be mechanically sanded back to a bare, clean surface
3. Resinous deposits should be removed with a scraper
4. Any remaining resinous residues should be removed using a clean, lint-free cloth, dampened with methylated spirits
5. Remove any mould or aglae growth with a suitable mould and mildew cleaner
6. Fill any gaps or imperfections in the wood surface with Sadolin Wood Filler or Sadolin Stainable Wood Filler

Always do a small test area before beginning any project to assess the colour, consistency and compatibility of the finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.

Do not apply if there is a risk of rain, or when air / substrate temperatures are below 10°C, or the relative humidity is above 80% during application or drying periods. Protect from frost and rain until dry. Failure to meet these requirements may adversely affect the drying and protection afforded by the preservative.

Ensure product is thoroughly stirred before and during application. Sadolin Wood Preserver is supplied ready for use and must not be thinned.

Application by Brush

1. For best results, use a natural bristle brush
2. Apply 2 coats in the direction of the wood grain
3. Each coat should be applied liberally until saturation is reached
4. With end grains in particular, this is best achieved by applying 'wet on wet' until the timber refuses to absorb any more preservative
5. Allow a minimum of 24 hours between applications

Short Time Immersion

1. Requires an immersion period of 3-10 minutes
2. Allow a minimum of 72 hours drying before further treatment with water-borne paints and woodstain systems

Cleaning Equipment

Clean brushes and equipment with a proprietary brush cleaner immediately after use. If spilled remove immediately whilst still wet, using clean white spirit.

Once dry, Sadolin Wood Preserver must be finished with a suitable wood paint, stain or varnish.
