Sikkens Cetol BL Unitop

Ensure the timber surface is suitably prepared, clean and dry, with dust, dirt, wax and grease removed, and allowed to acclimatise to its end-use environment. The moisture content should not exceed 14% prior to coating. We do not recommend the use of “knotting agents” as they are not always fully effective in “sealing in” resin. In addition, the
presence of knots is often highlighted, and adhesion of coatings can be impaired.
When filling, be sure to use fillers specifically designed for use with timber. General or all-purpose fillers are not suitable,particularly on external areas, as they cannot cope with timber movement and work loose. Only use non-rusting screws, nails and fixings.New timber : Degrease any exposed bare timber surface by wiping with a cloth dampened with a suitable solvent. Certain timber species contain high levels of natural wood extractives or exudates and some softwood can be highly resinous. Resinous deposits should be removed with a scraper. Any remaining residues should be removed using a lint-free cloth dampened with suitablesolvent, frequently changing the face of the cloth. Allow solvent to evaporate fully before overcoating. The use of both eye and hand protection is strongly advised.All damaged or decayed timber must be removed and replaced, cutting at least 25mm into sound timber. Secure any new spliced-in timber with non-ferrous fixings and fill all voids surrounding the spliced-in area with a suitable repair compound such as Dry-Flex from Repair Care.
