Owatrol D1 Pro

Saturating Wood Oil For Hardwoods

D1 Pro has added UV inhibitors making it a high performance oil which saturates the wood. Pushing out moisture and air it fills the pores of the wood with rich oil, stabilising the wood and providing long-lasting protection.

Properties

• Can be used on horizontal or vertical surfaces.
• High UV resistance
• Ideal for dense, greasy or difficult to impregnate hardwood
• Long lasting natural finish
• Excellent penetration.
• Non film building. Must be in the wood not on the surface
• Interior – Exterior
• Mildew resistant finish
• Easy to use. Easy to maintain (no stripping, no sanding)
• Allows local touch up

Where to use

• Tropical hardwoods : Ipe, Teak, Bangkirai, Mahogany etc
• Exterior : Decking, Garden Furniture, Fences, Cladding etc
• Interior : Floors, Stairs, Door & Window Frames etc
• Horizontal & Vertical Surfaces etc

Surface Preparation

General Directions:

• Surfaces must be clean, dry and free of dirt, grease, grime, mildew and previous coatings.
• Treat mildew with a 50/50 bleach/water solution. Scrub solution on to surface and allow to stand for 10-15 minutes; rinse thoroughly.
• After cleaning, allow wood to dry 2-3 good drying days or until it has reached a moisture content of 18% or less before applying D.1 PRO.
• D.1 PRO may only be applied to bare wood surfaces or a weathered wood surface that was previously finished with D.1 PRO. All other finishes must be completely and thoroughly removed.
• If necessary sand surface after cleaning and/or stripping (80 grit paper).

New wood surfaces:

• New wood surfaces have a hard shiny surface called mill-glaze that prevents maximum penetration and adhesion of any finish, this should be removed to ensure maximum performance the finish.
• Treat with Aquanett or Prepdeck and neutralise with Net-Trol.

Weathered wood surfaces (untreated):

• Wood that has weathered longer than 12 months or turned grey should be cleaned with Net-Trol to remove all loose wood fibres, dirt and other surface contaminants. If wood is severely contaminated, clean with Prepdeck or Aquanett and neutralise with Net-Trol.

Previously oiled surfaces:

All other oils or sealers must be completely and thoroughly removed with Aquanett or Prepdeck and the stripped surface neutralised with Net-Trol.

Previously coated surfaces (paint, stain, varnish etc):

• All previous coatings must be completely and thoroughly removed with Dilunett, Prepdeck or DSP 800.
• Solvent (oil or alkyd based finishes): Strip with Dilunett neutralise with Net-Trol.
• Acrylic finishes – Water-based: Strip with Prepdeck neutralise with Net-Trol.
• Other finishes i.e. 2 pack epoxies, urethan etc strip with DSP 800.

Note:

Hardwoods including exotic hardwoods and woods rich in tannins i.e. Oak, Chestnut, Teak, Ipe, Bangkar etc may darken with Aquanett, Prepdeck or Dilunett, neutralising with Net-Trol  immediately after rinsing will lighten and restore the woods colour.

Interior:

• Thoroughly remove any existing coatings with DSP 800 or by mechanical abrasion.
• Sand surface with 80 or 100 grit paper to open the woods’ pores.
• Dust off and wash with Methylated Spirits (Denatured Alcohol), Acetone or similar (NOT White Spirit) to degrease the surface.
• Allow to dry

Application

• Shake or stir can well before use.
• Start by applying a 1st liberal application of D.1 PRO to an area that can be treated in 15 minutes and allow to penetrate (normally 15-30 minutes).
• Apply a 2nd application as soon as the first has penetrated and allow to penetrate.
• Continue this “wet-on-wet” application of D.1 PRO until wood is saturated i.e. will accept no more oil.
• Leave final application 20-30 minutes then brush out or wipe up excess product that has not penetrated to avoid shiny spots.
• Do not allow D.1 PRO to become touch dry or dry between applications.

Note:

D.1 PRO is not a surface coating, its place is in the wood not on the surface. D.1 PRO protects by penetrating the wood, providing a rich matt finish.
