Directions for Use
Surface Preparation
Shake / mix well before use and frequently during application.
Ensure surrounding areas, including plants and lawn, are protected before application.
New Bare Timber: Ensure the surface is clean, dry and free from contamination.
Previously Coated Timber: All coatings should be completely removed. If necessary grey or deteriorated wood should be sanded down to a clean, sound surface. Wear a dust mask during sanding. If it is not totally removed only some of the Timbashield Wood Preserver may be absorbed, leading to issues such as patchiness which in turn can lead to localised areas of decay, preventing the product from working as intended.
Old Timber: Wood that has decayed or is damaged should be removed and replaced. Brush with a stiff brush to remove any dirt that has become ingrained. Mould, algae and fungi must be removed and treated with a suitable wood cleaner. Fill in any gaps with a suitable wood filler to make a sound surface before treatment.
Please note that the due to the differences in porosity of some wooden surfaces, rough sawn, absorbent wood may require a higher volume of product. This is due to how much product is absorbed. A test patch is always recommended.
Application
Apply the product onto dry wood when there is no imminent rain forecast and the temperature is betwen 10 and 30 degress. Wood should be frost-free when treated. Failure to meet these requirements may adversley affect the drying and durability of the finish.
Brush/Roller: Apply by synthetic brush or roller that is designed for water-borne products, spreading out thinly and evenly along wood texture. Allow the product to penetrate the wood and leave to dry before applying the next coat. Under normal conditions this should take 4-6 hours. Apply subsequent coats and then wait at least 24 hours until overcoating with your chosen top coat.
DIP: Undertake a contolled dip of the timber to be treated into the Timbashield Wood Preserver. Allow to fully dry before overcoating and avoid immediate stacking of stained items until dry.
Low temperatures, increased humidity and matrix characteristic may increase drying time.
Cleaning
During application, remove any excess with a clean cloth. Any spillages should be cleaned immediately. Clean tools immediately after use with warm soap water, subsequently rinse with clear water or use commercial brush cleaner.
HSE Approval Number: 10872. Timbashield Wood Preserver is regulated under the European Biocides Regulation (EU BPR; EU 528/2012).Please see the Health and Safety sheet for further information.

FAQS
Can I use this product on its own?
No. Timbashield Wood Preserver is designed to be used as a primer to add extra protection against fungal growth and wood boring insects (woodworm) - it does not offer water or UV protection. It is suitable for use with all Timbashield paints and stains (water and solvent based) and most commercial top coats (we always recommend a test patch first for compatibility).
Can I use Timbashield Wood Preserver on top of an already painted shed?
No, this is to be used as a base coat rather than a top coat.
Is this product waterproof?
Any waterproof protection will come from the chosen top coat - not the Timbashield Wood Preserver.
