Timber surfaces must be suitably prepared. The moisture content should not exceed 18% prior to coating. Resinous deposits should be removed.
Degrease any exposed bare timber by wiping with cloth dampened with methylated spirits. “Knotting agents” should not be used with Crown Woodcare 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.
Stir well before and during use. Use a good quality synthetic bristle brush.
Apply in a full flowing coat, maintaining a wet edge. Ensure all surfaces, tops and bottoms of doors, and undersides of cills are coated.
Ensure end grains and sawn timbers are coated to saturation. Avoid overspreading
