Timber surfaces must be suitably prepared, clean, sound and dry. The moisture content should not exceed 18% prior to coating. Weathered and denatured surfaces should be thoroughly abraded and/or stiff bristled brushed back to a clean bright surface. Remove any decayed areas and replace with new timber.
Resinous deposits should be removed with a scraper and wipe any resinous areas and knots with a cloth dampened with methylated spirits. Special attention should be taken to ensure freshly sawn ends of decking boards are treated with a suitable preservative like Sadolin Quick Drying Wood Preservative.
Timber in ground contact (eg support posts) should be preservative treated in accordance with the relevant standards. Remove any surface salts left after preservative treatment with clean water and allow to dry.
Only use non - ferrous screws, nails and fixings.
Do not apply if there is a risk of rain, or when air / substrate temperatures are below 8°C or above 25°C, or if the relative humidity is above 80% during application or drying periods. Protect from frost and rain until dry. Failure to meet these requirements may adversely affect the drying, visual quality and durability of the finish
Ensure product is thoroughly stirred before and during application, otherwise sheen and colour variations may be experienced. Sadolin Decking Stain and Protector is supplied ready for use. Do NOT thin.
For best results use a good quality, synthetic fibre bristle brush specifically designed for the application of water borne products. On new work, wherever possible, the initial coat should be applied to all concealed surfaces prior to fixing.
Apply 2-3 liberal coats of Sadolin Decking Stain and Protector ensuring all surfaces are coated to saturation by applying several coats ‘wet on wet’ until the end grain refuses to absorb any more.
Allow a minimum of 4-6 hours drying time between coats. Avoid over spreading as this will reduce the long term durability and performance of the coating system.
The need for maintenance is indicated by a lightening in colour, reduction in sheen as the coating erodes, and a loss of water repellence. All defective coatings should be completely removed. Any grey denatured exposed timber surfaces must be thoroughly sanded back to clean, bright timber.
Organic growths must be removed and infected surfaces should be treated with a suitable fungicidal solution. Remaining sound surfaces should be cleaned using a warm water and mild detergent and rinsed thoroughly with clean water.
Bare timber should be patch primed with one or more coats of Sadolin Decking Stain and Protector in the appropriate colour to match existing colour.
Due to high levels of weathering and abrasion that decks are exposed to, maintenance may be required as frequently as every year. Finish with 1 or 2 coats of Sadolin Decking Stain and Protector as required.
