| APPLICATION DETAILS | ||
| Application conditions | All surfaces to be painted must be dry, the moisture content of the wood below 20%, the temperature of the air at least +5 ºC, and the relative humidity of the air below 80%. | |
| Preparation | Surfaces must be clean, dry and free from grease, dirt, oil, wax, all loose material and surface contamination. Use recommended Tikkurila products for mould removal and cleaning. Fill cracks, joints, nail holes, etc. with a good quality wood filler. Ensure that existing glossy, previously stained and filled surfaces are thoroughly flatted down so as to ensure adequate absorption of Valtti Akvacolor in to the surface of the wood. Make sure that timber cladding, weatherboarding and timber glazing beads, etc. are adequately fastened with non-corrosive fixings. Valtti Akvacolor is not recommended for use with linseed oil putty. Good quality non-setting glazing compounds which form a protective skin should be used in accordance with manufacturers instructions. Particular attention with regards to preparation should be given to wood such as Oak, Teak, Cedar, Douglas Fir, Mahogany and Idigbo, etc. which contain oil and water soluble tannin which may impair the drying, hardening or adhesion of surface coatings. | |
| Priming | A priming coat of Valtti Base or Valtti Akvabase should be applied to all exterior wood which has not been pre-treated or vacuum impregnated with an approved wood preservative. Apply liberally on end grain. | |
| Treatment | Stir thoroughly before and during use. Apply two coats of Valtti Akvacolor overall, working in the direction of the wood grain. Apply liberally on the end grain. Protect plants from splashes of Valtti Akvacolor and Valtti Base. | |
| Cleaning of tools | Clean with water and soap immediately after use. | |
