Overview
Ideal for treating outdoor treated timber structures such as sheds, fences, trellis and pergolas, Barrettine Wood Protective Treatment is a low odour wood sealer for rough, sawn or smooth timber. It contains water repellent resins and a biocide film wood preserver to stop mould and algae surface growth. These help to reduce decay, swelling and twisting of the wood. The pigments contained in Barrettine Wood Protective Treatment offer great UV fade resistance and will help to protect the structure from sun damage.

Preparation
Ensure that the surface to be treated is clean and dry, and free from varnish, paint, wax etc.
- Before application, the wood must have been dry for 24 hours and rain should not be forecasted for at least 48 hours after application to get maximum benefit from the treatment.
- Can be applied directly to pressure treated / preserved wood. Apply to unsealed wood. If the wood has been varnished or painted, these coatings must be removed prior to applying this treatment.
Application
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions found on the tin. The final colour finish can vary considerably due to the age, type & condition of the timber being treated. We advise to carry out a test area first in a discreet area to make sure you're happy with the final colour once it has dried.
- Shake well before use for at least a minute, and during use to keep the colour uniform.
- Can be sprayed with a traditional pump action garden style sprayer with viton seals. Can also be sprayed using an airless sprayer (Wagner or Graco type) ideally using a minimum 1mm flat fan tip nozzle (9 – 11 thou tip). Thoroughly clean the sprayer after application with white spirit and then oil it to protect the tip and moving parts (as per manufacturer’s instructions).
- Apply a minimum of 2 coats to ensure complete coverage of the wood.
- You will get a greater depth of colour with more coats, and more protection / water repellency and increased film depth on the surface, providing more of a sheen finish.
- Drying time is usually 24 - 48 hours under normal weather conditions. Low temperature, humidity or certain components of wood may increase the drying time.
