Bartoline Dark Brown Creosoak 20L

Bartoline Dark Brown Creosoak 20L Creosoak is an oil-based wood treatment, effective when applied to exterior timbers such as garden sheds, fences and trellis work. The oil-based properties provide excellent surface water repellence, improves grain definition and restricts weather damage. Preparation: Ensure that all timbers are structurally sound, dry and free from surface growths. Care should be taken to protect valuable plants and foliage during application. Children and pets should be kept away from treated timbers until they are completely dry. Timbers previously treated with Creosote, Creosote Substitute or a solvent-based wood preservative will readily accept re-treatment with Creosoak. Sealed or painted timbers must be stripped back to bare wood before coating with this product. The shade may vary from batch to batch and it is therefore recommended that containers with the same batch number are selected to ensure shade uniformity. Alternatively, premix different batches. The final shade is dependent upon the timber being treated and the previous covering applied. The colour will fade with time. To ensure suitability it is recommended that test patches are applied before general application. Application: Creosoak can be applied by brush, spray or dip methods. A deeper colour may be attained by applying further treatments. Apply liberally, soaking the timber to achieve best results. Always ensure that end-grain timbers are fully saturated. For timbers being set in the ground, apply Bitumen Paint to protect against groundwater saturation. Coverage: Depending upon the texture and porosity of the timber to be treated, application of a single coat of Creosoak will cover at the rate of 1 litre per 6 to 8 square metres. After Care: Clean all tools and application equipment with White Spirit.
