Owatrol Textrol – Penetrating Wood Oil

Description

Owatrol Textrol is a penetrating wood oil finish for exterior softwood and hardwood. Suitable for both horizontal and vertical surfaces. Textrol is a penetrative product which saturates the wood to protect it from within – as there’s no film on the surface it will not peel or flake.

Textrol enhances the natural beauty of the wood whilst providing a mildew-resistant finish with exceptional long-lasting protection from the effects of moisture, weathering and UV rays. One huge benefit of Owatrol Textrol is the time you can save – it can be applied wet-on-wet so you don’t need to wait for coats to dry and the maintenance is easy with local touch-ups and no sanding required!

When first applied, Textrol will give the wood a rich, matt colour which will gradually lighten over time to the finished look. Ideal for a variety of common garden purposes:

• Reviving dried-out and weather-beaten decks
• Protecting garden fencing and gates from splitting and cracking
• Maintaining decking with no laborious sanding
• Enhancing the natural wood look of garden furniture
• Showcasing beautiful sidings and cladding
• Protecting decks for the future

Application

• Application with: Brush, Roller, Garden sprayer, or Air-less sprayer .011 – .015 fluid tip/ 700-800 psi or less.
• Apply the first coat of Textrol and allow it to penetrate into the wood (15-30 minutes). Apply a second application and allow it to penetrate for 15-30 minutes. If required repeat this procedure until the wood is saturated i.e. will accept no more oil.
• Do not allow Textrol to become touch dry or dry between coats.
• Once the timber is saturated, brush out or wipe up any excess product that has not penetrated to avoid shiny spots.
• NOTE: Textrol is not a surface coating, its place is in the wood not on the surface.

Clean Up

Clean all tools and equipment with white spirit whilst still wet. If allowed to dry, remove with paint stripper.

NOTE: Any rags, steel wool etc. soaked in Textrol may spontaneously catch fire if improperly discarded. These must be saturated with water after use or placed in a sealed, water filled metal container, before disposing with household waste.

Things to Remember

• Before starting, test the colour choice on a small area. Allow to dry to determine final colour (remember that this colour will lighten over a couple of months to the final colour).
• Cover everything you do not wish to coat, including plants and shrubs.
• Apply between 5°C and 35°C.
• Do not apply if cold and/or wet weather is expected within 24-48 hours.
• Mix product thoroughly before and during application.
• Do not thin.
• Always work the entire length of a deck board or horizontal siding to a logical break, such as a window or door frame.
• Never stop the application in the middle of the wall.
• Vertical siding should be coated from top to bottom.
• Do not allow to dry between coats – apply Owatrol Textrol ‘wet on wet’.
• After spray application, always back-brush or back-roll to improve penetration and uniformity of coverage.
• If using an airless sprayer it should be .011 – .015 fluid tip/ 700-800 psi or less.
