Application Tools:

• Brush
• Roller
• Air-less sprayer .011 – .015 ?uid tip/ 700-800 psi or less
• Garden sprayer

Surface Preparation:
New wood surfaces:

• New wood surfaces have a hard shiny surface known as mill glaze which prevents maximum penetration and bonding of any ?nish.
• To properly prepare the surface for application, and minimise splitting, swelling, cupping and checking caused by exposure to the sun and rain, first treat with Seasonite and allow the wood to weather for 6-12 months before applying Textrol.

Weathered wood surfaces:

• All surfaces must first be clean, dry and free of dirt, grease, grime and mildew.
• If any mildew is present, treat it with a solution of 1 part bleach to 3 parts water.
• Scrub the solution on to the surface and allow to stand for 10-15 minutes then rinse thoroughly.
• Clean weathered wood with Net-Trol to remove the loose wood ?bres, dirt and other surface contaminants.
• If necessary sand the surface after cleaning (80 grit paper). After cleaning, allow the wood to dry for 2-3 days before ?nishing.

Previously oiled surfaces:

• Textrol may only be applied to bare wood surfaces or a weathered wood that was previously ?nished with Textrol.
• All other oils or sealers must be completely and thoroughly removed with a wood oil remover such as Owatrol’s Aquanett and then the surface must be cleaned and neutralised with Net-Trol before applying Textrol.
• If necessary sand the surface after cleaning and stripping (80 grit paper). After cleaning, allow the wood to dry for 2-3 days before ?nishing.

Previously coated surfaces:

• Textrol may only be applied to bare wood surfaces or a weathered wood surface that was previously ?nished with Textrol.
• All previous coating must be completely and thoroughly removed with a stripper such as Owatrol’s Dilunett and neutralised with Net-Trol before applying Textrol.
• If necessary sand the surface after cleaning and stripping (80 grit paper).
• After cleaning, allow the wood to dry for 2-3 days before finishing.

Application of Textrol penetrating wood oil:

• Apply the first coat of Textrol and allow it to penetrate into the wood (15-30 minutes).
• Apply a second application and allow it to penetrate for 15-30 minutes.
• If required repeat this procedure until the wood is saturated i.e. will accept no more oil.
• Do not allow Textrol to become touch dry or dry between coats.
• Once the timber is saturated, brush out or wipe up any excess product that has not penetrated to avoid shiny spots.
• NOTE: Textrol is not a surface coating, its place is in the wood not on the surface.
  Maintenance:

Decks & other horizontal surfaces:

• Most decks & horizontal surfaces will only require a maintenance application of Textrol every other year.
• A single application of Textrol every other year will be suf?cient to refresh the natural beauty of the deck/horizontal surface and to maintain protection.
• A periodic clean between applications with Net-trol to remove dirt and contamination will renew the appearance of the wood.

Cladding & other vertical surfaces:

• Most cladding and vertical surfaces will only require touch up applications of Textrol.
• When areas treated with Textrol turn grey, clean with Net-trol and apply a single application of Textrol to replace material which has weathered out.
• Areas retaining good colour do not need a maintenance application.
• Badly weathered areas may require 2 applications of Textrol (apply the second application as soon as the first has penetrated the wood).
• Surfaces with harsh exposures to the sun and weather will weather wear more quickly than other areas.
• If this happens, clean effected areas with Net-Trol and apply Textrol as necessary, blending into areas which still have good colour.

Clean Up:

• Clean all tools and equipment with white spirit whilst still wet. If allowed to dry, remove with paint stripper.
