Maintenance Primer

Dimensionally stable wood building elements: wood moisture content 11-15%

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

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

Using a brass brush, thoroughly clean greyed and weathered wood surfaces to ensure optimum adhesion.

Remove loose and torn knots as well as resin that bleeds and clean with a suitable product (e.g. Remmers thinner & brush cleaner).

Exterior wood that needs to be protected against soft rot and blue stain must be pre-treated with a suitable wood preservative* (*Use biocides safely. Always read the label and product information before use).

Round off sharp edges.

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.

After drying, apply the intermediate and final coats of LT Stain UV.

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.

When renovating windows and exterior doors, we recommend an intermediate sanding step using sandpaper (P180) or a fine sanding sponge prior to further coating.

Can be overcoated: after approx. 4 hours

Practice values at +20 °C and 65% relative humidity.

Low temperatures, poor ventilation and high humidity delay drying.

Ready to use

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.

Use the contents of open containers as quickly as possible.

Approx. 100 ml/m² depending on the absorbency of the wood

Observe the regulations concerning design principles for wood protection.

Do not use on horizontal surfaces without drainage slopes and without edge radius, avoid accumulated moisture.

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.
