Woodskin is a one-component oil varnish hybrid which provides a natural looking semi-gloss finish. The microporous technology enables the wood to breathe. Woodskin is easy to apply and really penetrates into the grain providing a more flexible coating.
Preparation:
WOOD PREVIOUSLY COATED WITH WOODSKIN OR SIKKENS CETOL MARINE
Clean thoroughly with mild detergent. Roughen the surface with a sanding pad, clean thoroughly with fresh water and
allow to dry.
PREVIOUSLY VARNISHED WOOD
Remove all previous coatings. Follow directions for bare wood.
BARE WOOD/PLYWOOD
Woodskin has been developed for application direct to bare wood, without the need for special preparation. Sanding is
not required prior to applying Woodskin. However, if preferred for aesthetic purposes, bare wood can be sanded
smooth with 80180 grade paper and then 280 grade paper. Remove sanding dust by brushing, dusting and wiping. If
wiping with solvent then allow to dry completely before applying the first coat. If applying to oily woods ensure the
surface is adequately prepared and degreased. Thinner No.1 is recommended.
Method Application: (Brush)
Woodskin can be applied direct to bare wood or overcoated on to itself. Pour the amount you expect to use in a
separate container. Apply a minimum of 3 coats using a brush; a long haired bristle brush is recommended for this
purpose. Sanding between coats is not required. Allow 24 hours drying time in between coats. Thinning is not
recommended.
Hints: Mixing Stir thoroughly before use.
Thinner: Do not thin.
Brush Recommended.
Roller Not recommended.
Cleaner Thinner No.1.
Some Important Points Never leave bare wood exposed for long periods of time as it will absorb moisture. Avoid using Woodskin straight from
the can as this will cause it to age prematurely and may introduce contamination to the can. Failure to follow proper dry
times carefully will cause improper drying, wrinkling and loss of adhesion. Avoid painting in direct sunlight. Use above
the waterline only.
