WOODSTAIN AP

 

Surfaces must be sound, clean and dry before treating.
Remove all loose and defective coatings, if necessary stripping back to bare wood.
Where the surface has been previously painted, it will be necessary to strip back to bare wood.
Remove and treat any mould, algae, lichen or moss with *Weathershield Multi-Surface Fungicidal Wash.
Remove defective glazing material, clean the rebates and any loose or open joints.
Replace any rotten wood and troublesome knots with preservative treated timber.
Thoroughly rub down all surfaces in the direction of the grain to remove any grey, weathered wood and surface sheen from remaining coatings, and then dust off (refer to your COSHH Assessment).
Prime all bare wood with 1 coat of **Weathershield Preservative Basecoat+ including any new or bare replacement beading. Excess basecoat should be wiped off surrounding paintwork.
Fill any surface defects, open joints etc. and replace any missing glazing material. Do not use linseed oil putty for glazing (or making good) with natural wood finishes, use external beads set in an appropriate non-setting mastic or a special glazing compound.

New joinery is often factory primed using a stain basecoat (also called a dual-purpose primer). These materials quickly erode when left exposed and may need to be re-primed.

Stir thoroughly before use.

Apply 1 coat of **Weathershield Preservative Basecoat+ to all bare wood.

Finish with 2 coats of Weathershield Woodstain AP.
