Preparation

Substrate requirements

The substrate must be clean, dust-free and dry.

Dimensionally stable wood building elements: wood moisture content 11-15%

Wood building elements with limited or no dimensional stability: wood moisture content max. 18%

Substrate preparation

Thoroughly remove any dirt, grease and non-adhering old coatings.

Sand grey and weathered wood surfaces down to sound, bright wood.

If necessary, the substrate can be made more uniform with Aqua RG-27.

Remove any loose and torn knots as well as resin that bleeds from the wood and clean with a suitable product (e.g. V 101 Thinner).

Wood outdoors that is to be proteced against blue stain and rot, must first be treated with Aqua IG-15 (this is not necessary for wood indoors).

When painting outdoor wood with the colour Clear UV+, the wood must first be pre-treated with Wood Protection Cream Clear*.

Observe BFS Code of Practice No. 18 "Coatings on Wood and Wooden Working Materials in Outdoor Areas".

Thoroughly sand any old coatings that are still intact.

Directions

Conditions for use

Temperature of material, surroundings and substrate: min. +5 °C - max. +25 °C

Stir well.

Apply by brush.

Apply in the direction of the grain.

Apply a second coat once the first has dried.

If required, Clear UV+ can be used as a third coat to permanently fix the desired colour (sacrificial layer that is renewed when renovating).

When the colour clear UV+ is used for wood outdoors 3 coats of clear UV+ are mandatory.

End grain areas should be painted over with several coats of the material in the corresponding colour to protect against water absorption.

Windows and exterior doors require 3 coats.

All colours can be mixed with one another.

Tips on use

Check colour and compatibility with the substrate by applying a trial coat.

Do not use on wood impregnated with boron salts.

Each layer of medium-build stain results in a more intense colour and a glossier finish.

Substances in oak may bleed, causing dark discolouration, when coated with water dilutable dispersion stains.

Mechanical damages, especially to clear coatings, must be immediatly repaired with "clear UV+" to prevent discolouring, caused e.g. by blue stain.

Areas that are being coated or dried should be protected against rain, wind, sunlight and condensation.

Drying

Dust-dry: approx. 1 hour

Can be coated: approx. 4 hours

Practice values at +20 °C and 65% relative humidity.

Low temperatures, poor ventilation and high humidity delay drying.
