Sikkens Cetol HLS Woodstain - Tinted Colour Match

Sikkens Cetol HLS Plus is a highly translucent, solvent borne, mat 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

Tinted Colour Information

Tinted paint is custom mixed in house at Next Day Paint using our Sikkens tinting machine. We mix the paint on site, which means we can offer our usual fast delivery with no extra delay. Tinted Colour Match paints can't be cancelled or returned as they are tinted to order.

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.

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. This product can not be sprayed.

• 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.
