Application process
Preparation
- In case of extremely soiled and oily wood or mildew stains, the wood must be cleaned with a mixture of 10% Exterior Wood Cleaner and water. The wood must be thoroughly rinsed with water after the use of Exterior Wood Cleaner and before application. Consult the accompanying TDS before use.
- Remove all loose coatings or wood fibers (sanding, steel, or brass brush).
- Remove sanding dust from the surface and wipe dry.
Application
- Stir WoodCream well before applying it (undiluted), carefully and evenly, to the vertical surface with a block brush suitable for water-beading products. Work with the grain in sections approximately 3 to 4 boards wide. It’s best to keep a wet edge. In one motion, use an application brush to perform a final pass, ensuring the WoodCream application is even and consistent.
- Apply a second layer in order to prevent gloss differences between raw wood and patches where the old coating was still present.
Clean up
- Rinse the brush used to apply WoodCream in water.
