Preparation

Always ensure the surface to be treated is clean, dry and free from any dust, algae, fungi or moss.

  • Resinous deposits should be removed with a scraper.
  • Degrease the surface with a lint free cloth and suitable solvent, allow to evaporate fully before applying Sikkens.
  • For previously stained or worn wood use a fine sandpaper of 240 grit work in the direction of to abrade the surface the grain.
  • Dust down entire surface.
  • Fill any cracks, holes or chips, always use a filler designed for timber.
Application

Before applying stir the product thoroughly and test a small area to ensure colour and adhesion. Colours can vary dependant on surface to be treated.

  • Do not apply when there is the risk of rain or when temperatures are below 5°C or above 30°C.
  • Protect from frost and rain until dry.
  • Always ensure product is fully mixed before and during application to ensure consistency in colour.
  • Do not thin.
  • For application use a good quality, synthetic-fibre brush.
  • Apply along the grain in even strokes and avoid over brushing.
  • Pay special attention to areas of exposed grain, tops and bottoms of doors and undersides of cills.
  • Allow a minimum of 6 hours drying time before overcoating.
  • Where appropriate (e.g. windows and doors), carefully denib the coat using a fine grade nylon abrasive pad or a fine grade (P240 or finer) wet or dry silicon carbide abrasive paper.
  • Remove all dust.
  • Subsequent coatings should be applied as soon as possible after the previous coat has dried, but no sooner than 6 hours, in order to provide full protection.
  • Additional preparation may be required if over 3 months between coats.
  • Cetol BL Opaque is a two-coat system on most surfaces, however when white or pale colours are being applied over a black or dark substrate, a third coat may be necessary.

Note: Always follow the manufacturer instructions found on the tin.
