APPLICATION DETAILS
Application conditions The surface to be treated must be dry, the temperature of the air at least +5 °C, and the relative humidity of the air below 80 % during painting and drying.
Preparation New untreated wooden surfaces:
Remove dirt and loose material from new surfaces. Wash off mold with Tikkurila Homeenpoisto (Mold Removal) or with Tehopesu (cleaning agent) according the directions for use. Prime surfaces as soon as possible with Valtti Pohjuste priming oil. Protect rusting parts, e.g. nail heads, with Rostex anti-corrosive primer. Remove loose resin from knots and treat them with Oksalakka knotting lacquer. Finish with two coats of Pika-Teho.

Maintenance painting:
Remove loose material from previously treated surfaces with scraper and steel brush. Wash down dirty and moulded surfaces with Homeenpoisto (Mould Removal) solution or with Tehopesu (cleaning agent) according to directions for use. Treat bare wooden surfaces with Valtti Pohjuste priming oil and prime them once with Pika-Teho. Finish the surfaces with one or two coats of Pika-Teho depending on the colour difference and condition of the surface.
Painting Stir Pika-Teho well and thin with water, if necessary. Apply Pika-Teho with brush or airless spray.

Reserve enough Pika-Teho for one uniform surface and mix into one can to avoid possible colour differences.
Cleaning of tools Clean tools with water.
Maintenance instructions Handle the surface with care, ultimate durability is reached in approx. 4 week. After treatment surface can be cleaned lightly with a soft brush, a damp rag or a mop.
