Preparing the Job
Ensure timber is dry and free from bark, dust/dirt and any surface coating including paint or varnish.r.
How to Apply
Shake tin well before use and frequently during use. This is important to achieve a uniform colour. Treat all surfaces. Wherever possible dip wood in preserver, otherwise apply uniformly, flooding faces, sides, ends and joints with at least two generous brush or spray coats. Apply the second coat after the first has soaked in, but before fully dry. When spraying use a coarse (airless) spray and avoid atomisation (misting). The exact colour may be affected by any previous treatment and is darker on sawn, more absorbent, weathered and dark wood. Try a test area first, to ensure acceptable appearance when dry. Apply to any surfaces cut after treatment. Protect plants during application. Do not splash. Allow treated fences etc. to dry thoroughly before refixing plants. Do not splash on plastic, plaster, paint or masonry. Do not spill on asphalt, bitumen, bitumen felt, tar or mastics. Bitumen, rubber and some plastic based materials may soften or swell in contact with the fluid or solvent vapour.
Drying Time
Typically 2-5 days at normal temperatures with good ventilation.
Cleaning Up
