Treatex Grey Cedar Oil penetrates deeply into timber surfaces and in a similar way to bark, attaches to the wood capillaries providing protection against extreme climate conditions.

Treatex Grey Cedar Oil will immediately enhance the colour of Cedar to achieve the naturally greyed effect that comes with age, whilst still protecting and allowing the timber to mature. This can be maintained through future applications of Grey Cedar Oil or be left to mature naturally over time as required.

Features:

• Easy to apply
• UV resistant
• Highly water resistant
• Contains no biocides or toxic ingredients
• Safe for use on children's toys
• Not suitable for high tannin content timbers e.g. Oak
• Will not flake or peel
• Creates the naturally greyed effect of aged Cedar whilst still protecting the timber.

Coverage: 2.5L will cover approximately 35m² in one coat depending on timber and method of application.

Preparation:

Treatex Grey Cedar Oil works best on unfinished timber. Previous finishes which stop Grey Cedar Oil from penetrating into the timber (e.g. paint and other ‘closed’ finishes) must be fully removed prior to application. Previous porous finishes should be lightly sanded before overcoating. When overcoating a previously finished surface, a trial application is essential. Flaking or peeling finishes must be fully removed prior to application. Ensure the timber is dry and free from possible contaminants e.g. algae, grease, dirt, dust etc. Timbers susceptible to decay, mould and fungi should be treated first with a suitable preservative. We advise that when using Grey Cedar Oil, sufficient product is purchased to complete the whole project and when more than one tin is required it is advisable to mix them together before use. Timber must have a moisture content below 18%. The temperature must be greater than 8º
