Application Instructions
- Prepare the surface by cleaning the timber to remove dirt, algae, or old treatments; sand lightly if needed for smooth or previously treated surfaces.
- Stir the tin thoroughly to ensure an even color and consistency before application.
- Apply the treatment using a brush, roller, or sprayer, working in thin, even coats on dry or slightly damp rough-sawn timber (avoid wet surfaces).
- Cover the surface with one generous coat, ensuring full saturation; apply a second coat if needed for porous or weathered timber (wait 24 hours between coats).
- Allow to dry for approximately 12 hours (touch-dry) or 24 hours for full curing, depending on weather conditions and humidity.
- Clean tools with water immediately after use to prevent drying of the treatment.
Care & Maintenance
- Store unused Timbermate in its original tin in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures, to maintain quality.
- Clean brushes, rollers, or sprayers with water immediately after use to avoid buildup.
- Inspect treated surfaces annually; reapply a maintenance coat every 23 years or as needed to maintain water repellency and color vibrancy.
- Dispose of empty tins responsibly, following local recycling guidelines for paint containers.
