For previously stained or worn wood use a fine sandpaper of 240 grit work in the direction of to abrade the surface the grain.
Dust down entire surface.
Fill any cracks, holes or chips, always use a filler designed for timber.

Application

Before applying stir the product thoroughly and test a small area to ensure colour and adhesion. Colours can vary dependant on surface to be treated.

Do not apply when there is the risk of rain or when temperatures are below 5°C or above 30°C.
Protect from frost and rain until dry.
Always ensure product is fully mixed before and during application to ensure consistency in colour.
Do not thin.
For application use a good quality, long-haired, soft bristle brush.
Apply along the grain in even strokes and avoid over brushing.
Use the minimum number of brushstrokes necessary to produce an acceptable finish.
Pay special attention to areas of exposed grain, tops and bottoms of doors and undersides of cills.
Allow a minimum of 16 hours drying time.
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.
The first coat should be carefully denibbed using a fine grade nylon abrasive pad or a fine grade (P240 or finer) wet or dry silicon carbide abrasive paper, in the direction of the grain. Do not break through the surface coating.
