Preparation

Timber surfaces must be suitably prepared, clean and dry.

Resinous deposits should be removed
Degrease any exposed bare timber surface by wiping with a cloth dampened with methylated spirits

New Timber: Any non-preservative treated softwood timber should be treated with two liberal coats of Sadolin Ultimate Wood Treatment or before overcoating with Sadolin Beautiflex

Existing Coatings: Lightly abrade, in the direction of the grain - Do not break through the surface coating - Remove all dust

Note: “Knotting agents” should not be used with Sadolin opaque systems - Fillers specifically designed for use with timber such as should be used for making good any minor surface defects, imperfections and open joints etc. General or All Purpose fillers are not suitable - Only use non-ferrous screws, nails and fixings - For best results decking boards should be coated all round prior to fixing

Application

Ensure product is thoroughly stirred before and during application

Apply in a full flowing coat ensuring all surfaces and end grains are fully coated

Following surface preparation in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations, finish with a minimum of two full coats of Sadolin Beautiflex® allowing a minimum of 16-24 hours drying between coats

For best results use a good quality, long haired synthetic brush

Pay special attention to end grain, tops and bottoms of doors, and undersides of cills

Sadolin Beautiflex® is supplied ready for use - Do not thin

Note: Do not apply if there is a risk of rain or bad weather conditions. Protect from frost and rain until dry.

Aftercare & Storage

The need for maintenance is indicated by a lightening in colour, reduction in sheen as the coating erodes, and a loss of water repellence.

All defective coatings should be completely removed
Any grey denatured exposed timber surfaces must be thoroughly sanded back to clean, bright timber
Organic growths must be removed and infected surfaces should be treated with a suitable fungicidal solution
Remaining sound surfaces should be cleaned using a warm water and mild detergent and rinsed thoroughly with clean water
Bare timber should be patch primed with one coat of Sadolin Beautiflex®
Finish with 1 or 2 coats of Sadolin Beautiflex® as required
