Tinted Colour Information

Ensure the surface is clean, dry and free from dirt, grease, grime and mildew.

• Clean the wood and allow to dry for 48 hours or until it reaches a moisture content of 19% or less.
• New wood can have a hard, shiny surface known as mill glaze, which can limit penetration and prevent proper coating adhesion. Apply one coat of Owatrol Seasonite and allow the wood to weather for a minimum of 6 months before applying Owatrol Decking Paint.

• Uncoated wood that has weathered for more than 6 months must be thoroughly cleaned before finishing. Use Owatrol Net-Trol according to the label instructions, together with a pressure washer or stiff-bristle brush, to remove loose fibres, dirt and other surface contaminants. Sand with 100-grit sandpaper if necessary.
• Ensure the surface is free from dirt, grease, grime, mildew and previous coatings.
• After cleaning, allow the wood to dry for 48 hours or until it reaches a moisture content of 19% or less before applying the finish.

• Sand or scrape away all loose, flaking or peeling coatings. If required, strip the surface with Owatrol Dilunett and neutralise with Owatrol Net-Trol.
• Ensure the surface is clean and free from dirt, grease, grime, mildew and any remaining loose coatings.
• After cleaning, allow the wood to dry for 48 hours or until it reaches a moisture content of 19% or less before applying the finish.

Important: Cedar, Redwood and hardwoods may darken when treated with Owatrol Dilunett. If this occurs, brighten the surface with Owatrol Net-Trol before continuing. For Oak and Chestnut, manually or mechanically sand the wood, remove dust and wash with Owatrol Net-Trol to clean the surface.

Always test a small area of the surface to be painted to ensure you are happy with the finished results

• Apply an even coat of Owatrol Decking Paint, avoiding heavy application, using a high-quality synthetic stain brush, a tight knit synthetic roller sleeve or Airless sprayer.
• Allow to dry for 3–4 hours.
• Then apply a second coat.

Airless Spray application: .017-.021 tip at 1800-2000 psi (124-138 bars).

Note: When spraying, immediately back-brush or back-roll the surface to ensure even colour, coverage and penetration.

Always follow manufacturer's instructions found on the packaging

Keep from freezing.

Shelf life: 1 year minimum in original unopened packaging.
