TIMBER SEALER
Timber Sealer is designed to be used as a primer/sealer coat for the Timber Glow system.
The function of this product is to both seal the substrate, and to assist in the uniform top coating
of the of Timber Glow system to maximise the UV protective qualities of the product.
It is also be used as a stand alone product for the heads and styles of wooden doors and doors manufactured of
composite materials.
It is particularly useful to prevent ingress of moisture when doors have been hung and are subject to adverse weather,
before final finish coating is applied.
DESCRIPTION
Timber Sealer is a transparent water based coating, based on concentrated, blended acrylic emulsions.
It is formulated with high substrate wetting capability and has no inorganic fillers. It dries to a clear, impervious film.
APPLICATION
Sealer/Primer for Timber Glow
The first application (primer) on sawn Western Red cedar and similar rough timbers should be thinned to a suitable degree to allow ease of application on the porous timber. (up to 25%)
For use on fine grained dressed timbers, thinning should be to a maximum of 10% as required.
Protective Sealer for doors etc
Apply a liberal coating to all end grain and bare surface, paying particular attention to any joints, interfaces between panels and rails etc, to ensure that no
gaps or joints are left un-coated that may otherwise allow moisture transmission into the body of the door.
Chipboard and other flooring material
Installed flooring likely to be exposed to the weather (e.g. before roofing is closed off should be coated with Timber Sealer prior to the onset of bad weather, to avoid serious damage to the flooring.
The product can be applied with brush, roller or spray. it ishould be "laid off" with a good quality brush, to dispel any foaming, un-evenness or drips and runs that may be formed by the roller.
The product dries quite quickly to its' final film and "laying off" should follow the roller directly.
Generally if inclement weather threatens, any coating should be completed no less than 2 hours before the start of rain to allow the Timber Sealer to dry through.
SURFACE PREPERATION
Sealer/Primer for Timber Glow
Timber should be clean and surface dry; any stains, stencils or other marks should be removed as these would otherwise be "locked in" under the transparent
coating finish.
Timber which has been previously oiled with linseed should either be allowed to age prior the the application of Timber Glow system, or thoroughly washed with organic solvent to ensure proper bonding.
Protective Sealer for doors etc.
Timber should be clean and surface dry. Nail holes and imperfections should be filled with appropriate filler.
The surface should be lightly sanded prior to application.
COVERAGE
Depending on porosity of timber and amount of thinning the following can be considered as guides:-
Dressed hardwoods: 10 - 20 m /Litre
Sawn timber: 6 - 16 m /Litre
Drying Time
Touch dry within half hour, recoat no less than two hours depending on temperature and other weather conditions
Clean-up
