Application Process
- Ensure product is thoroughly stirred before and during application, otherwise sheen and colour variations may be experienced. Sikkens Cetol Filter 7 plus is supplied ready for use.
- Do not thin.
- Cetol HLS plus should be used as a base stain for joinery items prior to coating with Cetol Filter 7 plus.
- For best results use a good quality, long-haired soft bristle brush.
- The product should be applied in a full flowing coat, laying off in the direction of the grain, using the minimum number of brushstrokes necessary to produce an acceptable finish.
- Avoid over brushing, as this will reduce the protection afforded.
- Apply to a minimum wet film thickness of 55 micrometres.
Conditions
- Do not apply if there is a risk of rain, or when air/substrate temperatures are below 5ºC or above 30ºC during application or drying periods.
- Protect from frost and rain until dry.
- Failure to meet these requirements may adversely affect the drying, visual quality and durability of the finish.
- Two coats of Sikkens Cetol Filter 7 plus should be applied, allowing a minimum of 16 hours drying time between coats.
- On new work, where practical, the first coat should be applied all round prior to fixing.
- Pay special attention to any areas of exposed end grain, tops and bottoms of doors, and undersides of cills.
- The second coat should be applied to all exposed surfaces, as soon as possible after the first coat has dried, but no sooner than 16 hours.
