APPLYING ONTO UNTREATED TIMBER

Product: Ecocel Decking & Timber Stain

Surface Preparation:

Carefully clean and prepare all surfaces, fine sanding and rounding off sharp edges as necessary. Remove all previous paint, varnish, shellac or lacquer and wipe the surface clean of dust.

Applications:

Stir well for 5 minutes and then apply with a soft paintbrush, applicator pad or suitable spray. The first application is a sealer coat. Thinning is not usually necessary but if you prefer, thin with 5% clean water and apply as above. Leave this coat to dry for 2 hours, fill any imperfections, then leave to dry fully for 4 hours before applying further coats.

Coverage

Approximately 16 square metres per litre, depending on the texture and porosity of the surface.

Drying

Leave the sealer coat to dry fully for 4 hours then apply a further 2-3 undiluted coats. Allow 4 hours drying time between each coat. We recommend you give your newly sealed timber a light sanding with 240-grit sandpaper, dusting off thoroughly with a tack rag, before proceeding to apply the undiluted coats.

This product is normally touch dry in 2 hours but drying may take longer if the weather is cold or humid
