Owatrol Solid Colour Stain, Exterior Masonry And Wood

Product Description

SOLID COLOR STAIN is a premium finish for new wood and for recoating old applications. SOLID COLOR STAIN is fortified with OWATROL® E-B* to provide unsurpassed adhesion to vertical and horizontal exterior substrates where other products ultimately fail or require extensive preparation and priming.

Properties

• Excellent adhesion and flexibility.
• High traffic performance on deck surfaces.
• Long lasting on cladding.
• Easy application. Easy maintenance.
• Protects against moisture damage.
• Warrantied against peeling and flaking (see Limited Warranty details).
• Quick drying. Low odour.
• Microporous – Allows wood to breathe.
• High colour fastness.

Surface Preparation

General Directions

• Surfaces must be clean, dry and free of dirt, grease, grime, mildew and if necessary previous coatings.
• Treat any mould and mildew with a 50/50 Bleach/Water solution. Scrub solution on to the surface and allow to stand 15 minutes, rinse thoroughly.
• After cleaning and/or stripping allow wood to dry 2-3 good drying days or until it has reached a moisture content of 18% or less.
• If necessary sand surface with 80 grit abrasive or coarser (depending on wood species) to remove any raised grain.

New Wood

• New wood has a hard shiny surface known as mill glaze that prevents maximum penetration; this along with the moisture content and natural oils/resins in new wood prevents the proper adhesion of any coating.
• Conduct water drop test: Sprinkle water on the surface. If water is absorbed immediately, the surface is ready for finishing, if not proceed as follows:-
• Resinous and high moisture content timber e.g. Larch, Pine, Spruce, PTW… – Treat with SEASONITE* and allow to weather a minimum of 6 months.
• Cedar – Treat with SEASONITE* and allow to weather a minimum of 12 months, irrespective of the result of the water drop test.
• Exotic woods e.g. Iroko, Azobe, Padouk, Ipe… – Allow to weather a minimum of 12 months.

Untreated Weathered wood

• Clean wood with NET-TROL* to remove all loose wood fibres, dirt and other surface contamination. If wood is severely contaminated clean with AQUANETT* or PREPDECK*. Neutralise with NET-TROL*.

Previously Coated surfaces (Oil, Paint, Stain etc.)

• Check existing finish for adhesion by using the cross hatch test method.

If existing finish is well adhered

• Sand surface.
• Clean with NET-TROL*.

If existing finish is in poor condition and/or poorly adhered

• All previous coating(s) must be completely and thoroughly removed.
• Oils: Strip with AQUANETT* or PREPDECK*, neutralise with NET-TROL*.
• Solvent (oil or alkyd based) finishes: Strip with DILUNETT*, neutralise with NET-TROL*.
• Acrylic (water-based) finishes: Strip with PREPDECK*, neutralise with NET-TROL*.Other finishes e.g. 2 pack epoxies, urethanes etc.: Strip with DSP800*.

Note: Woods high in tannins e.g. Cedar, Ipe, Oak, Teak will darken when treated with AQUANETT*, PREPDECK* or DILUNETT*. Neutralising with NET-TROL* immediately after rinsing will lighten and restore the woods colour.Note: It is imperative that a contact time test is done when using AQUANETT*, PREPDECK*or DILUNETT* on Oak, Chestnut and other high tannin content woods to avoid blackening the wood – Refer to the relevant TDS.

Application

• Apply a coat of SOLID COLOR STAIN avoiding heavy application.
• Allow to dry – 4 hours.
• Apply second coat.
• When applying by spray, always back-brush or back-roll immediately after application to ensure uniformity of colour, coverage and penetration.
