Rainproof : Under an hour. 

Touch Dry : 1 hour. Recoatable : 4-6 hours.

Preparation 

General 

Timber surfaces must be suitably prepared, clean, sound and dry. The moisture content should not exceed 18% prior to coating. Resinous deposits should be removed. Degrease any exposed bare timber surface by wiping with a cloth dampened with methylated spirits. “Knotting agents” should not be used with Sadolin translucent woodstain systems. Fillers specifically designed for use with timber such as the Sadolin woodfillers 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. 

New Timber 

Any non preservative treated softwood timber should be treated with two liberal coats of Sadolin Quick Drying Wood Preserver, paying particular attention to end grains, allowing 24 hours drying time between coats and before overcoating with Sadolin Quick Drying Woodstain. Do not use Sadolin Quick Drying Woodstain on substrates which have had water-repellent preservative treatments applied. Where possible, the first coat should be applied all round prior to fixing. 

Base Stained Joinery 

Lightly abrade, in the direction of the grain. Do not break through the surface coating. Remove all dust. 

Note: Where there is localised damage, or deterioration has occurred as a result of exposure of the factory coating for longer than 3 months, affected areas should be thoroughly sanded back to a sound substrate and recoated. If a coloured base stain is required in order to match the existing factory applied coating, use Sadolin Quick Drying Woodstain in the most appropriate colour before proceeding as described above. 

To ensure optimum durability and uniformity of appearance, we recommend finishing with 2 full coats of Sadolin Quick Drying Woodstain.
