Sadolin Wood Preserver

Sadolin Wood Preserver is a wood preservative for amateur and professional use against wood rotting fungi and wood destroying insects. For use on exterior wood out of ground contact or out of surface water contact. Timber treated with sadolin wood preserver must be subsequently coated with an exterior Woodstain or paint.

Preparation
Timber surface must be suitably prepared, clean and dry, with dust, dirt, wax and grease removed. The timber should be allowed to acclimatise to its end-use environment. The moisture content should not exceed 18% prior to coating. Hard crystallised resin at the surface of the timber should be removed with a scraper. Any remaining resinous residues may be removed using a lint-free cloth dampened with methylated spirits.

Application
Apply by brush or short-time immersion (dipping or deluging). Wood Preserver must not be applied by spraying. Brush application: Apply 2 coats of Wood Preserver. Each coat should be applied with a good quality brush until saturation is reached, with end grains this is best achieved by applying ‘wet on wet’ until the timber refuses to absorb any more. Allow a minimum of 24 hours between coats. Short-time immersion: Requires a minimum immersion period of 3 minutes.

Drying Time
Touch dry: 2 hours
Between coats: 24 hours
Recoatable: Allow 24 hours before further treatment with solvent-borne finishes.
Allow 3 - 5 days before further treatment with water-borne finishes.

Coverage
Application by brush: 5 m2/litre.
Application by short-time immersion (three minute minimum): 10 to 15 litres/m3.

Cleaning
Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with a proprietary brush cleaner. If spilled, Wood Preserver may be removed immediately while still wet, using white spirit.
