Ensure that surfaces are clean and dry before treating with Barrettine Universal Wood Preserver. The prep required will depend on the type of wood you're treating.

• New wood - Generally no pre-treatment necessary, but if contamination suspected use a fungicidal wash prior to treating.
• Renovation - Completely remove any coatings. Pre 1960’s paint may contain lead, so take special precautions. Grey or deteriorated wood should be sanded down to a clean, sound surface. Wipe surface to remove dust with White Spirit or Methylated Spirits.

Test a small area first in an inconspicuous place to ensure compatability. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions found on the tin.

• Shake well before and during use, for at least a minute.
• Barrettine Universal Wood Preserver should ideally be applied in frost free temperatures between 10 - 30 degrees celsius.
• Application of this product will affect absorption characteristics of any wood dye / stain to be subsequently applied. Test on off-cuts to determine process for obtaining desired shade.
• Apply 2-3 coats using a synthetic brush designed for solvent borne products, spreading out thinly and evenly, ensure end grain is thoroughly treated along with cut and drilled areas.
• Allow 6–12 hours touch drying time between coats. Some darkening of the wood may occur with successive applications of this product.
