Surface preparation

New timber

Ensure the surface is dry and free from dirt, dust and loose material. Thoroughly scrub down dense timber with Resene Timber and Deck Wash (see Data Sheet D813), rinse with fresh water and allow to dry. Do not allow the wash solution to dry out on the timber surface or on glass or aluminum joinery. Remove any gross contamination and semi-detached cellulose fibres.

Weathered timber

Treat with Resene Moss & Mould Killer (see Data Sheet D80). Thoroughly scrub down with Resene Timber and Deck Wash (see Data Sheet D813) as per new timber above.

Existing stains (non-film forming)

Do not apply over mineral oil stain types. The existing stain can only be confirmed if cans of the existing stain are present on site or the current owner undertook the last stain application.

If the existing stain is not a mineral oil stain type, prepare as per Weathered timber.

Resene does not recommend water blasting of timber as a preparation method, as this may damage the timber surface and compromise stain durability.

All sanding dusts can be harmful. Always wear appropriate protection.
Seek expert advice if working with lead, chromate or asbestos based materials or surfaces.

Application

Apply by	Brush or roller
Typical coverage (spreading rate)	Coverage will vary with timber species and condition. Dressed timber: First coat 10-12 square metres per litre. Second coat 12-14 square metres per litre. Depending on the timber's porosity and the selected colour, a third coat may be required in 3-6 months' time. Band sawn and weathered timber: First coat 3-4 square metres per litre. Second coat 5-7 square metres per litre.
Dry time (minimum)	Touch dry 2 hours at 20°C
Recoat time (minimum)	8 hours at 20°C
Usual no. of coats	2 for new work, 1-2 for old work
Thinning	Do not thin
Clean up	Water when wet. Mineral turps when dry

Use a synthetic bristle brush for cutting in. For larger areas, a roller can be used.

For lightly textured surfaces/sawn timber apply using a Resene No.7 roller sleeve, for smooth panels and timber like plywood, apply using a Resene No.4 roller sleeve. A third coat may be needed to achieve the required stain coverage/colour.

During application stir the contents of the container frequently to ensure even distribution of colour. Saturate the surface with Resene Woodsman Cedar Natural Wood Oil. Aim to achieve the targeted coverage for the substrate as per the table above.

For best results, wipe excess Resene Woodsman Cedar Natural Wood Oil off with a dry, absorbent, lint-free cloth rubbing along the grain.
