Description
Directions for use
Uses: Equisol Rapid is a pre-oiling formulation suitable for exterior installation on bare timber. It can be applied to rough-sawn, dressed, pressure-treated, and unseasoned wood, but it is not recommended for interior timbers.
Surface Preparation: All surfaces must be free from oil, grease, and other contaminants. Equisol Rapid is not recommended for use on timber where a previous coating is present without stripping it first. Remove all sanding dust before treating.
Application: Use a pre-oiling machine, brush, spray or floor applicator to apply a single coat of Equisol Rapid. Multiple coats can result in uneven surface colour and sheen.
Note: Equisol Rapid is formulated to pre-oil timber and provide protection before and during exterior installation. However, it is not intended as the final protective coat. For optimum timber protection, a second coat of Equisol ProE365 is required. Once the timber has been installed, it is essential to clean all surfaces exposed to weather and foot traffic using Equisol Prime tannin and oil remover, following the label instructions. After cleaning, neutralize the surface with Equisol Vitalise and re-oil with Equisol ProE365, following the label instructions.
Thinning: Equisol Rapid does not require thinning.
Drying Time: Drying times depend on timber type, moisture and climate.
Recoat: Leave for 24 hours if possible
Walk On: 24 hours after recoat or when dry.
Coverage: Coverage rate will vary depending on the texture and absorbency of the wood species used.
- Softwood: 6-10m2 per litre.
- Hardwood: 10-16m2 per litre.
Clean Up: Clean brushes and other equipment using soapy water or turpentine.
