Application :

1. Do not dilute. Mix the product well before and during application to homogenize the color and limit variations due to possible sedimentation.
2. Apply a generous coat of TEAKPROTECT in the direction of the wood grain and along the entire length of the board, paying particular attention to the ends. Smooth with a back-and-forth motion until you achieve a uniform finish.
3. Whenever possible, always finish in the same direction. Always finish at a natural break or edge such as a door, window, or porthole.
4. Apply a second coat when the wood no longer looks wet (approximately 15 to 20 minutes). Never allow the wood to dry between coats. Apply wet-on-wet.
5. If necessary, repeat the application until the surface is saturated (wood no longer absorbs the product), especially on very porous woods such as heat-treated wood, old softwoods, etc.
6. Smooth out excess product with a spalter (or even wipe with a lint-free cloth) before drying to avoid any traces of drips or shine when drying. TEAKPROTECT must be in the wood and not on the surface.
7. The final appearance is matte. Any trace of shine indicates the presence of product on the surface.
8. When applying with a spray gun, smoothing is always recommended to improve penetration and give a uniform appearance.
