DESCRIPTION: A hard, elastic, semi-transparent
varnish for use on timber surfaces exposed to sun and rain. It is
resistant to dirt and moisture.
PROTECTION: Protection against weather,
wood-destroying ultra-violet light is determined by pigment
density. In areas of greater exposure 3 coats are recommended to
build up pigment density or 1 coat of Bio Wood Primer plus 2 coats
of Bio Wood Varnish. Minimum dry film thickness on an even smooth
surface: 60 micron, better 100 micron. Box frames, timber windows,
cladding and end grains must be treated with BIO Wood Primer and
one coat of BIO Wood Varnish BEFORE INSTALLATION. It is also good
practice to prime all back surfaces. Reapply once the finish
appears to become dull.
PREPARATION: Prepare surface in accordance
with AS 2311 Painting of Buildings. Do nat apply coatings to
unseasoned or wet timber. Wood and other surfaces should be well
sanded, dry and cleaned of greasy, waxy and dirty contaminants
using BIO Thinner. Round off sharp edges. Imperfect coats may
require complete stripping before applying BIO products. Hardwoods
and other timbers rich in natural oils, waxes, acids and terpenes
should be degreased using BIO Thinner, because these substances may
mix with the varnish and prolong its drying time.
APPLICATION: Stir thoroughly before use with a
broad flat stirrer. Brush thinly and evenly working varnish well
into the grain. Maintain a wet edge when painting. Thick coats
wrinkle when dry. Avoid bubbles. Lightly sand between coats if
necessary with fine sandpaper. Allow 12 to 24 hours to dry between
coats. Low temperatures and humid conditions prolong the drying
time. Apply second and subsequent coats only after previous coat
has thoroughly dried. Do not use below +10 C and or above 80%
humidity, in cold damp conditions, when condensation, rain,
dew or frost are likely to occur or hot days, direct sunlight or
hot surfaces. Provide adequate ventilation during application
and drying. Reaches maximum durability after 8-14 days.
RE-COATING: Exterior: Re-coating is recommended
after approximately 2 or 3 years, depending on the exposure to the
weather.
COLOURS: All colours are intermixable. Slight
variations between lots are possible. Special colours are available
on request. Standard colours are: Redwood, Pine, Mahogany, Green,
Grey, Teak, Ebony, Black, Red, Walnut, Oak & White.
