Instructions for use
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
- Wooden surfaces must be clean from dust and grease. To remove grease and dust use PRESTAIN CLEANER and to remove resin use nitro solvent or acetone.
- To remove old varnishes and paints use paint & varnish remover STRIPP & CLEAN.
- The humidity of the wood must not exceed 12%.
- It is advisable to apply 2 coats of wood preservative XYLOFARM EXTRA. In case of damaged wood by wood eating insects, apply one coat of XYLOFARM AQUA KILLER before the preservative.
- Then apply DÉCOR XYLOFARM in 2-3 coats. When exposed in extreme weather conditions a third layer must be applied. Use transparent DÉCOR XYLOFARM during the second or third layer for lighter shades.
- Light sanding (#220 – 280, 3M Fre – Cut™ 618) the wooden surface before application and between layers will guarantee proper adhesion and penetration along with best aesthetic result.
- Α well-ventilated area is necessary when the material is applied.
- Close lid tightly after use and store in a cool place away from direct sunlight.
ATTENTION
Do not paint surfaces under direct sunlight. The wood stain will dry too quickly and will minimize the penetration effect. Painted surfaces must not be exposed to rain for the first 48 hours. Protecting horizontal flooring surfaces requires application of a floor varnish after the wood stain such as PARQUET VARNISH AQUA. Oil-based products are best applied with natural bristle brushes in contrast to water-based products which are best applied with synthetic bristle brushes.
LEAD STATEMENT
WARNING: Treatment of old surfaces such as dry sanding, flame cutting and/or welding of the dry paint film will give rise to dust and/or hazardous fumes. Lead dust may be released. Lead is toxic. Exposure to lead dust can cause serious illness. Wet sanding/flatting should be used wherever possible. If exposure cannot be avoided by the provision of local exhaust ventilation, suitable respiratory protective equipment should be used.
