Softwood, Hardwood, Tropical and Thermo Heated Wood.
New or old wood

SURFACE PREPARATION
New Wood :
New wood often has a hard shiny surface known as mill glaze, this and the moisture content of new wood prevents the proper adhesion of any coating. Initially, apply a coat of SEASONITE, and allow wood to weather a minimum 6 months. After 6 months apply SOLID COLOUR STAIN.
Weathered Wood - grey, blackened or stained :
Restore and clean the wood with NET-TROL.
If necessary sand the wood (100 grit)
Previously coated wood :
Strip with DILUNETT and neutralise with NET-TROL.
On Oak and Chestnut, manualy or mechanicaly sand the wood, dust off and wash with NET-TROL to clean. Allow to dry.
Sand the wood if necessary (100 grit).
Previously painted, stained or varnished wood:
Alkyd resin coating: strip with the DILUNETT + NET-TROL system.
Acrylic resin coating: strip with the PREPDECK + NET-TROL system.
On woods rich in tannins (oak, chestnut, etc.) and bicomponent/PU coatings: strip with CDKP 90.
Sand the wood if necessary (100 grit).
