Overview
Sikkens Cetol HLS Plus is a highly translucent, solvent borne, semi-gloss woodstain for use on exterior softwood and hardwoods. It’s a low build formula that absorbs into the wood allowing the natural grain and quality of wood to show through. It can be used as a 3 coat system on cladding, fascias, soffits, rough sawn timber, fencing, decking, garden furniture and handrails. As well as a base stain on bare smooth joiner prior to the use of higher build finishes such as Cetol Filter 7 or Cetol THB Plus.
• Resists UV Radiation, peeling and cracking
• Microporous, water-repellent
• Can be used as a base stain and finishing coat

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 weathered wood use a fine sandpaper of 120 or 240 grit to abrade the surface working in the direction of the grain
• Dust down entire surface
• Fill any cracks, holes or chips, always use a filler designed for timber
• Please always follow instructions of manufacturer when staining new wood as some substrates will require leaching time
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, long-haired, soft bristle 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
• Excess surface liquid should re-distributed after 5-20 minutes using a dry brush
• Allow a minimum of 18-24 hours drying time
• To apply a 3 coat system, lightly sand between each coat with a 240 grit or lighter sandpaper, do not break the surface coating
• Remove all dust before re-applying
• To use as a base coat, after applying one coat continue with a top coat such as Cetol Filter 7
• Subsequent coatings should be applied as soon as possible after the previous coat has dried, but no sooner than 12-24 hours, in order to provide full protection
• Additional preparation may be required if over 3 months between coats
Note: Always follow the manufacturer instructions found on the tin.
