WOODWASH should always be applied by brush in the direction of the woodgrain, maintaining a wet edge. Typically boards would be finished in groups of two or three from end to end without splashing onto adjacent boards and panels would be completed one at a time to help in maintaining the wet edge.

Between coats, allow at least 6 hours then sand lightly with fine sandpaper before applying
subsequent coats.

Typically two coats are applied, however this can be adjusted to create the desired level of opacity.
If Murothane is being applied, lightly sand the final coat of WOODWASH and ensure the surface is
fully dry (typically 24 hours) before applying 1 or 2 coats depending on expected wear and desired
appearance. Note: Murothane will show some yellowing although less than a typical enamel paint.

Coverage

Approximately 10 – 20 m2 per litre depending on texture and porosity

Packaging

1, 4, 10 and 15 Litre

Clean-up

Clean-up in water

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Paint Application

Wet dry jointing will show, so care must be taken to maintain a wet edge.

Test for finish and potential tannin staining before proceeding.

Colour and Tinting

It is the responsibility of the contractor to ensure colour consistency. We recommend ordering
sufficient material to complete the project to eliminate the risk of colour variation.

Temperature

Woodwash should not be applied where surface or air temperature is below 10°C or above 35°C

Initial Protection

Protect the surface from mechanical damage for seven days after application, particularly in colder
temperatures and trafficable surfaces.
