Previously painted or varnished timber
Remove back to bare timber using a paint stripper, or sanding. For exterior surfaces, clean with Cabot's Deck Clean following label instructions.
Previously stained or oiled timber
For exterior surfaces, clean with Cabot's Deck Clean following label instructions, then allow timber to fully dry. Test if the surface is ready for coating by sprinkling water on the timber. It the water beads on the surface, repeat the application of Cabot's Deck Clean. If water is absorbed into timber, it is ready for coating. For a more transparent look, sand timber back to bare then clean with Cabot's Deck Clean before coating.
Weathered and grey timber
For best results, sand timber back to fresh substrate. Clean with Cabot's Deck Clean following label instructions.
Bare timber
To coat new bare timber immediately, scrub damp timber with Cabot’s New Timber Prep, following label instructions. New Timber Prep will draw out tannins and oils quickly from the surface, allowing you to skip the 4-6 weeks weathering process required for new timber. Always follow New Timber Prep with Cabot’s Deck Clean following label instructions.
Note 1 coat will give a semi transparent finish. 2 coats or more will give an opaque matt finish. Stir thoroughly with a broad flat paddle before and during use. Apply liberally along the length of the board including exposed edges and end grain by brush or pad applicator. For an opaque finish apply two coats allowing 18 hours between coats. Can be walked on 16 hours after final coat.
Maintenance
Re-apply as the timber changes colour or when water repellency diminishes due to weathering. Follow surface preparation instructions. To achieve a deeper colour or more opaque finish, further coats can be applied.
