Overview

Water based Barrettine Wood Reviver contains oxalic acid, a biodegradable organic acid found naturally in plants such as rhubarb and spinach. It restores grey, UV-damaged wood back to its original warm tones. Wood Reviver can also rescue wood from surface mould, tannin runs, watermarks, iron, rust and light dirt. This is a low VOC, ready to use reviver, free from chlorine bleach. Its easy to apply and produces results in around 20 minutes, saving the work, mess and dust of heavy sanding.

Preparation

Shake well before and during use. Wood must be clean and bare before treating. Wood Reviver may remove some existing wood finishes, however if surface coatings remain, use Barrettine Paint Panther® or Peelaway® to remove oil, paint, varnish or wax. Do not use a pressure washer to clean wood prior to application of Wood Reviver.

Application

Apply out of direct sunlight, in temperatures between 5-30°C. Wet the wood with water before applying the Wood Reviver. Using a brush or roller, apply generously to all visible sides of wood or panels, in the direction of the grain to areas 2m2 at a time to stop the wood from drying out. If it does dry, repeat the wetting process by spraying with water or wipe with a damp cloth to rehydrate. Leave the Wood Reviver to work for 15-30 minutes.

Rub the surface with a cloth or non-metal brush dampened with water to agitate it. Finally rinse again thoroughly. Repeat the process as necessary. Wood restoration and colour change may not be entirely visible until the wood has dried.

Please note: The appearance of the revived wood will vary depending wood type, age and condition. A test area is recommended before wider application. A light sanding may be required to restore a smooth finish.

Covers up to 4m2 per litre, depending on the type of wood and how porous it is. A 1 litre container is enough to cover both sides of a door.
