Usage:

Coverage: 
1L covers approximately 12-15m² in one coat depending on the timber and method of application. Rough sawn timbers will increase consumption.

Preparation

Treatex Eco Colours work best on unfinished timber, so remove previous finishes beforehand and ensure the surfaces are dry and free from contaminants. Treat exterior timbers with high tannin levels with Treatex Stain Inhibitor first to prevent staining. This includes teak, oak, cedar and mahogany.

Ensure the temperature is between 8-25 degrees celsius and that humidity is below 65% before application and drying. We recommend a trial application prior to starting the project.

Application

 -Stir tins thoroughly before use and during application.

 -Use a brush or roller to apply the environmentally friendly paint evenly with the grain, with special attention to the end grain. Apply 60-85ml/m² per coat. For internal use, 2 coats should suffice, and 3 coats should provide more protection for external use.

 -It will be touch dry in about 3 hours and can be coated after 8 hours. Different humidities may affect this.
