Tips

When the colorant is applied with a brush, it should be sweeped with the brush along the grains of the wood to obtain a homogeneous appearance and eliminate the risk of traces.
For long-term protection and a decorative appearance, it is recommended to apply Prime SC 7730 top coat after the colorant has dried.
The design of wooden structures in exterior applications in such a way that water does not accumulate on the surface increases the service life of the product significantly.
If it is desired to get maximum service life from exterior applications, it is recommended to apply the product to the back parts of the wood. In this way, the moisture that wood can absorb from the facade and construction will be kept to a minimum and the work of the wood will be minimized.
In order to obtain a homogeneous appearance; Sanding and painting should always be done in the direction of the wood grain. Coloring should always be started from the top of the wood and applied in areas of 3-5 square meters. If the application will be interrupted during the application; the application should be left at the joints of the woods or at the end and side edges. Otherwise, it will be overlaid and visually bad results. Always apply from the last applied part to the uncolored area and then come back to the colored part again to get the excess color.
