Preparation

Treatex Teak Protection will only work on unfinished timber. Previous finishes must be fully removed prior to application. If timber is grey and weathered then it should be sanded back or cleaned with Treatex Wood Rejuvenator to restore its natural colour before application. Ensure the timber is dry and free from possible contaminates e.g. algae, grease, dirt, dust etc. We advise that when using Treatex Teak Protection, sufficient product is purchased to complete the whole project and when more than one tin is required it is advisable to mix them together before use. Timber must have a moisture content below 18%. Temperature must be greater than 8º𝚌 during application and drying. A trial application is essential prior to starting the project.

Application

Stir container thoroughly, before and during use. Use a brush to apply Treatex Teak Protection in liberally and evenly in the same direction as the wood grain, allowing approximately 60-70ml per m². This product works best when the second coat is applied ‘wet on wet’. This means a second coat should be applied, in the same way as above, before the first coat is dry. After the second coat leave to dry for approximately 12 hours. If the Teak readily absorbs the the second coat, apply a third coat before the second coat dries (this can be seen in our Teak protection application video on this page).

• When treating multiple pieces of garden furniture e.g. a table and chairs, only treat 2 pieces at a time to ensure that the first coat cannot dry fully before applying the second wet on wet coat.

• We recommend a fresh coat is applied once a year.

• Treatex brushes are available. Wet brushes can be cleaned with warm soapy water.

• Store containers in a cool and frost free environment. Unopened containers will last for three years. Once containers are opened, transfer contents to a smaller airtight container.
