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 B E F O R E 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 not 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 or in cold
damp conditions; when condensation, rain, dew or
frost are likely to occur; on hot
days; in direct sunlight; or on hot surfaces. Provide adequate ventilation
during application and drying. Reaches maximum durability
after 8-14 days.
Re-coating is recommended after approximately 2 or
3 years, depending on the exposure to the weather.
