Preparation : Good preparation is key to a professional looking, long lasting finish.
Maintenance : QUANTEC is designed to fade over time, it will not crack, peel or flake so rejuvenating faded timbers coated with QUANTEC is simple, easy and cost effective. QUANTEC will lighten and fade faster in full weather exposed areas, whereas timber in protected areas will retain colour with minimal maintenance over time. Clear or tinted QUANTEC should be reapplied as frequently as necessary to retain the natural beauty and colour of the wood.
Tools : Brush, roller, spray or dip application.
Application :
New Timber : SAP STRIP to remove all extractives and sterilise any fungus or mould. This will help to open the timber grain, and remove mill glaze assisting with the penetration of the coating.
Old Timber : Wash with DEX PREP and a strong jet of water to rid the surface of oxidisation (greying). Note: Timber does not need to be dry prior to first coating.
Apply the first coat liberally to allow the coating to soak into the cracks and grain as much as possible. Allow to dry.
Apply a second coat once the timber feels dry to the touch.
