Recommended Uses – Aussie Coat
Timber finishes like AUSSIE COAT will protect the timber from weather.
It will expand and contract to allow some normal timber movement. Aussie
Coat is recommended for popular timbers such as Cedar, Merbau, Cypress
Pine, and Australian Hardwoods
Surface Preparation
Previously painted surfaces must be completely stripped back to bare timber.It is recommended to apply a timber cleaner (oxalic acid) such
as Preschem Grey Deck Cleaner followed by power washing the timber surface. Timber with tanin, iron or mould stains needs to be sanded or treated with mould killers such
as Preschem D-Mould. This will ensure Aussie Coat has a clean timber surface to adhere to. IMPORTANT: This product is a timber coating and whilst it does penetrate, it can trap foreign matters left on the timber surface. We cannot guarantee that tanin or mould may not develop under the surface of this coating at a later date. Timber is a natural product and can be unpredictable. We recommend applying 3 coats with the first coat applied on wet/damp timber.

Directions For Use
Ensure a clean dry surface free from dirt, grease and wax. Apply the 1st coat of Aussie Coat on wet or damp timber to enhance penetration of the mould aside. Apply liberally and allow to dry. Apply further 2 coats of Aussie Coat. Allow 2 hours between coats and ensure the surface is touch dry prior to recoating. Mix well prior to
application and during the application process. The application can be
made with a pad type applicator and brushes. HVLP and airless sprayers
can also be used for large vertical areas. Use of rollers is not ecommended for application. Avoid lap marks by maintaining a wet
surface in the application area. Application in temperatures above 32°C
or below 8°C is not recommended. Application in direct sunlight may
cause poor adhesion. Do not apply too late in the day and be careful of
applications where rain may be expected within 6 hours. Surfaces that
make contact with Aussie Coat such as doors may be sticky if not let to
dry properly before re-contact.
