Recommendations before use

• Always apply Aquatrol on dry wood (moisture content below 19%)
• Only apply on clean bare wood (remove previous coatings); degrease if necessary.
• Do not apply Aquatrol on new wood
• Stir well before use.
• Do not use on hardwood or plywood.

Application

• Apply a liberal application by brush, roller or airless spray (always back-brush or back-roll). Allow to penetrate the wood. Normally 15-30 minutes or when milky appearance has disappeared.
• Apply the 2nd application and allow to penetrate. Repeat this procedure until the wood is saturated. DO NOT allow to become touch dry or dry between applications.
• After last application, brush out or wipe up any excess that has not penetrated to avoid shiny spots. Pay special attention to the edges to prevent moisture absorption; impregnate them carefully to avoid any damages.
• Read directions for use on packaging.
