All Purpose Stain

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

The substrate must be clean, dry, free of dust, grease and loose substances, and prepared in the correct manner.

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

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

Exterior wood that needs to be protected against soft rot and blue stain must be pre-treated with a suitable wood preservative* - not necessary for interior wood (*Use biocides safely. Always read the label and product information before use).

Smooth, planed wood surfaces should be sanded and dusted before the coating is applied to ensure better absorption.

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

Stir well.

Apply by brush.

Apply in the direction of the grain.

Apply a second coat once the first has dried.

Maintenance coating: 1 - 2 coats with a slight intermediate sanding.

All colours can be mixed with one another.

Use material with the same batch number on contiguous surfaces (mix material of different batches beforehand), otherwise slight differences in colour, gloss and texture may occur.

Seal opened containers well and use contents as soon as possible.

Check colour, adhesion and compatibility with the substrate by setting up a trial area.

Before coating technically modified woods and wood-based materials, apply the product to a trial surface and conduct a suitability test on the desired area of use.

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

Only use the clear and white variants on sheltered exterior surfaces, such as roof undersides, or indoors.

Due to the different covering properties of white and pastel varnish colours, the optical appearance may vary depending on the substrate. It must be checked in advance whether discolouration of the varnish may occur due to substances contained in the wood.

Due to the low UV protection of these colour shades, shorter maintenance intervals must be expected.

In order to take account of and clarify these issues, a trial surface must be prepared in order to ensure that the surface meets expectations.

Cut end-grain surfaces at the bottom to create a water-drip edge.

Apply two subsequent coats of end-grain wood preservative to end-grain wood and cut surfaces in order to protect them against moisture.

Approx. 4 hours at 20 °C and 65% relative humidity.

Low temperatures and high humidity delay drying.

If necessary with 5-10% water.

Brush with synthetic bristles, flat brush

Clean tools immediately after use with water and detergent.

Ensure that any residue from cleaning is disposed of correctly.

If stored unopened in its original container in a cool, dry place and protected against frost, the product will keep for at least 24 months.

Approx. 80 ml/m² per coat in min. 2 coats.

DIN EN 71-3 "Migration of certain elements":

This product complies with the limits for the migration of heavy metals to children's toys according to DIN EN 71-3 and thus fulfils one of several further requirements for the safety of children's toys according to the EU "Toy Directive" (2009/48/EC).

On planed larch and softwoods with a high resin content, the coating may have reduced adhesion and resistance to weathering. This is especially the case on horizontal year rings, knots and areas of winter growth that are high in resin. Maintenance and renovation must be carried out more frequently on these surfaces.
The only remedy for this is pre-weathering or very coarse sanding (P80).
If these wood types are rough-sawn, considerably longer maintenance and renovation intervals are to be expected.

Larger quantities of leftover product should be disposed of in the original containers in accordance with the applicable regulations. Completely empty, clean containers should be recycled. Do not dispose of together with household waste. Do not allow to enter the sewage system. Do not empty into drains.
