PreparationNew Bare TimberTo coat new bare timber immediately, scrub damp timber with Cabot’s New Timber Prep, following label instructions. This product quickly draws out tannins and oils from the surface, allowing you to bypass the 4-6 weeks weathering process typically required for new timber. Always follow New Timber Prep with Cabot’s Deck Clean as per the label instructions. Remove excess water from the surface using a squeegee on Cabot’s Deck Prep brush, and allow the timber to dry for at least 1 hour. Note: Cooler conditions may slow down the drying time of the timber.
