Sadolin Quick Drying Wood Preserver 2.5lt

Description

Sadolin Quick Drying Wood Preserver is an ideal preservative treatment for exterior bare and new timber. Sadolin Quick Drying Wood Preserver offers a fast drying alternative that allows all surfaces to be over-coated in 24 hours.

Preparation

• Timber surfaces must be suitably prepared.
• The moisture content should not exceed 18% prior to coating.
• Resinous deposits should be removed, however in sawn timber remove resinous deposits as practical, brush off surfaces thoroughly with a stiff nylon brush to remove unwanted debris.
• Degrease any exposed bare timber by wiping with a clean, lint free cloth dampened with methylated spirits, frequently changing the face of the cloth.
• Allow the solvent to fully evaporate.
• Abrade sound timber surfaces in the direction of the grain using medium/medium fine grade (P180/P240) pads/abrasive paper (nothing metallic), taking care not to damage or scratch across surfaces.
• Remove dust.
• “Knotting agents” should not be used with Sadolin systems.
• Use Sadolin Woodfillers to make good any minor surface defects. General or all purpose fillers are not suitable.
• We recommend the use of non-ferrous screws, nails and fixings. Exposed ferrous items may corrode and break the coating film over time if not suitably primed/treated prior to decorating.

Application

• Apply 2 coats.
• Allow a minimum of 24 hours drying before further treatment with solvent or water based paint or woodstain systems.
• Stir thoroughly before use and during application.
• Apply by brush using a synthetic bristle brush.
• Each coat of Sadolin Wood Preserver should be applied liberally until saturation is reached.
• With end grains, this is best achieved by applying ‘wet on wet’ until the timber refuses to absorb any more preservative.
• Allow a minimum of 24 hours between applications.

Limitations

• Do not apply if there is a risk of rain.
• Do not apply when air or substrate temperatures are likely to fall below 8ºC, above 25 ºC, or when the relative humidity is above 80% during application or the drying period.
• Do not use on substrates previously coated with water repellent preservative treatments.
• The use of linseed oil putty or modified, non setting compounds are not recommended with our Sadolin products.
• Sadolin Quick Drying Wood Preserver is supplied ready to use and should not be thinned.
• Exterior timber treated with Sadolin Quick Drying Wood Preserver must be subsequently coated with an exterior woodstain or paint.
