Applying Monocel Gold Decking Oil
1. Preparation
- All surfaces to be coated must be clean, dry and free of oil, grease or dirt.
- Any existing coating must be checked for good adhesion. Any loosely adhered coating must be removed.
- All nail holes should be filled with a water-based filler. Sand the filler back prior to coating.
2. Application
- Stir well before and during use with a broad flat paddle.
- Use a good quality soft, clean paintbrush, applicator pad, short nap roller or by spray. If large areas are to be coated we recommend the use of a short nap mohair roller to assist with application.
- Reapply as timber changes colour or decreased water repellency is observed.
3. Drying Time
- Touch dry in 4 hours but it is recommended that the product be left a minimum 24 hrs before recoating.
- Then lightly sand the surface with 240 grit sandpaper.
- Thoroughly dust the surface (a tack rag is recommended) before recoating./li>
