Surface preparation

• Surface must be dry and clean from grease, dust and dirt. Material to be treated must be of good quality and free from fungal diseases (rotting, mold and blue-stain). At all stages of processing wood must be dry with a moisture content between 15-18%.
• Choose the appropriate surface treatment method to clean the surface. Avoid cleaning methods that can damage the wood (eg sand-blasting).
• Remove from the surface old paint layers and everything that may prevent impregnation product to penetrate to the surface.
• Make sure the wooden construction is well ventilated, the roof and the rainwater system and drainage would run smoothly.

Impregnating

• Make sure that the wooden surface is completely dry.
• Mix the product thoroughly before use and during work. The product is ready to use. Do not dilute.
• Apply Pinotex Wood Primer BPR on the surface with brush in 2-3 layers, but not more than 200g/m2.  Apply each subsequent layer to the surface immediately after the previous layer has absorbed into wood.
• Treat the ends of the board with extreme care, impregnating them to saturation.
• Surface treatment must be done as early as possible. Leaving untreated wooden surfaces to weather exposure may influence the adhesion of finishing coats.

Finishing

• Apply the finishing coat not earlier than 16 hours after priming. In case of horizontal surfaces and increased primer consumption, it may take more than 16 hours for the surface to dry completely.
• Before applying finishing coat, make sure that the impregnated surface is sufficiently dry.
• Choose suitable topcoat from Pinotex selection either woodcare product or wood paint.

Recommendations for painting

• Required air and surface temperature when applying impregnation product is +5…35 °C (preferably +18 ± 2 °C), relative humidity <85%. Avoid working in windy weather as well as in direct sunlight.
• Freshly treated wood must be covered or otherwise protected from rain until it is completely dry. Use the biocide safely.
• Handle the product and dry the freshly treated wood in a well-ventilated place.
• Do not treat wooden surfaces near water area. Avoid product to get on ground or water or drains.
• Use brush as application tool and apply the product in a continuous layer along the wood fiber.
• Before installing wooden board or similar parts, it is recommended to cover them with at least one layer from the back as well.
• Clean tools immediately after use, dried product can only be removed mechanically.
• Observe safety regulations during handling! Read the instructions before use.
