SURFACE POROSITY TEST
Ensure that the surface is free from dust, dirt, grease, oil and or solvents. Check that the surface is sufficiently porous by doing a porosity test.
- Drop a droplet of water onto the surface and time how long it takes to absorb. If the droplet has been absorbed within 20 – 25 seconds, the surface is suffciently porous as the surface porosity would be 6% or greater.
- If the water droplet takes 25-45 seconds to be absorbed, it is recommended that the first coat be diluted with 50% clean water and the second coat undiluted.
- If the water droplet does not absorb within 45 seconds, Sand down to raw wood ensuring that it is sanded in the direction of the grain. Wipe all dust off with a clean cloth.
- Redo the porosity test.
APPLICATION
STEP 01:
Use a brush, sponge, sponge roller or spray gun to apply. Do not apply in direct sunlight, inclement weather or on surfaces that are hot. For best results, apply 2 thin even coats. On surfaces with a low porosity, the thinner the coat, the better. Allow 20 minutes between coats and 12 hours for sealants to cure completely.
STEP 02:
Clean applicators with clean water directly after use.
