Coverage: A 2.5L tin will cover approximately 50m² in one coat, depending on the timber’s texture and porosity. Ensure proper application to achieve optimal results.
Preparation/Application
Preparation:
● Surface: Although Treatex Bangkirai Oil can be applied over most previous finishes, it works best on unfinished timber. If applying over a previously treated or coated surface, conduct a trial application to check compatibility.
● Cleaning: The timber should be dry and free from contaminants such as algae, grease, dirt, or dust. Any existing flaking or peeling finishes should be fully removed, and lightly sanded if necessary, before applying the oil.
● Moisture Content: Timber must have a moisture content of less than 18% for optimal application.
● Temperature: Ensure the application environment is between 8ºC and 25ºC, with humidity levels kept under 60%. These conditions help the oil adhere and dry effectively.
Application:
Stir the tin thoroughly before and during use.
Apply evenly using a brush or roller, ensuring a smooth coat is achieved. Apply wet-on-wet on the end grain until the timber stops absorbing the oil.
First coat: After 12 hours, the first coat can be overcoated.
Second coat: Apply a second coat in the same manner and leave it to dry for an additional 12 hours.
Tips
● Use Treatex brushes and rollers. These are specially designed for applying Treatex products for a smooth, even finish.
● Wet brushes and rollers can be cleaned with Treatex Thinner or white spirit for easy maintenance and reuse.
● Store unopened tins in a cool, frost-free environment to maintain product longevity. Once opened, transfer remaining product to a smaller airtight container.
● Always test a small area of the timber to ensure the desired result, particularly when applying over previously treated surfaces.
