Do not use a roller. Do not thin product. It is recommended to test in a small area to ensure satisfaction with the colour and finish prior to coating the whole project, ensure to apply 2–3 coats for the best indication of final colour.Apply three coats of Intergrain Heavy Duty, taking care to apply sufficient product to edges and ends.Four coats will be required in extreme conditions such as full sun exposure, around pools and in humid areas and may be required on porous timbers. Allow 4 hours between coats. Apply at the correct application rate (see COVERAGE). Do not overspread or apply thinly as insufficient film thickness will compromise performance and durability. When coating large areas, work in sections, apply long strokes and use natural breaks in the boards as stopping points. If spraying, it is recommended to back brush to even out the finish and avoid spotting. If necessary, sand lightly between coats to remove any raised grain and remove sanding dust.MAINTENANCEConduct a routine 12 monthly maintenance inspection. Colour fade is the first sign of need to recoat.To prevent water ingress and peeling, ensure Intergrain Heavy Duty is recoated before deterioration of the coating and timber underneath occurs.
