FEATURES

It is the best way to protect wood due to its excellent sealing properties. It also prevents the growth of mold and fungi.

SURFACE PREPARATION

Surface to be painted should be clean and dry, free from dust, dirt, and other foreign matter. Hammer all nails deep enough to apply putty. Sand rough wood until smooth and then dust off before painting.

If repainting, scrape off all loose, scaling, flaking, and peeling paint manually or by using BOYSEN®® Paint and Varnish Remover B‑141, as necessary. Wash surfaces clean and completely remove chemical residue. Let it dry.

PAINTING SCHEDULE

Apply BOYSEN®® Xyladecor™ to bare wood without primers or undercoats either by brush, spray or by dipping in an open trough or tank to achieve total covering rate. Shake and stir Xyladecor often during use.

By Brush:
Lightly brush or wipe over once along the grain to remove excess material and to smooth out any runs. Leave each coat for about 4-8 hours or until totally dry. Recoat for a darker shade.

By Spray:
Use a nozzle (about 1.5 mm) giving a stream of material. Working pressure should be approximately 40 psi.

By Dipping:
Dip the timber in BOYSEN®® Xyladecor™ for 2 minutes, varying the time required according to the absorbency of the wood. Stand the timber on end and allow to drain. If necessary, lightly brush the surface once in the direction of the grain before it dries.

Note: If a very even colored finish is desired on the wooden substrate with varying degrees of absorbency, apply BOYSEN®® Xyladecor™ Colorless first before applying the colored varieties of Xyladecor. BOYSEN®® Xyladecor™ Colorless is not recommended for exterior use on its own.
