Interior Timber Preparation
Step 1
New Bare Surfaces
Sand dressed timbers to a uniform, smooth surface.
Ensure the timber is dry and free from all dirt, dust, wax and oils.
Clean oily timbers, such as Brushbox, Spotted Gum, Cypress or Tallowwood with methylated spirits and allow a dry.
Note: Do not use steel wool on timber to be coated with UltraClear Interior as severe staining will occur.
Previously Finished Surfaces
Clean surface with warm water and household detergent.
When dry, sand to a uniform, dull surface.
Vacuum and wipe off dust.
Check for adhesion by applying UltraClear Interior to a small test area. Allow to dry for 24 hours then firmly press a strip of sticky tape over the section coated and rip off quickly. If the coating is removed, sand back to bare timber. If the coating is not removed, sand the test area back to a uniform dull surface and proceed.
Note: If the existing finish is wearing back to bare timber, it must be thoroughly removed before continuing. A combination of Liquid 8 and sanding is recommended.
Step 2
In humid, tropical or mould susceptible areas timber should be treated with TSS prior to coating. TSS should be left for 24 hours before applying UltraClear Interior.
Step 3
Nail holes and surface defects should be filled with Woodblend after the first coat of UltraClear Interior. Do not use Linseed Oil putty.
Always refer to the surface preparation and application instructions provided on the back of the Intergrain Timber Finish product before commencing your project.
