Description

International Woodskin

International 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.

Product features and benefits

• Its natural Teak colour showcases the beauty of any wood.
• Suitable for use on all types of wood, including oily woods such as teak and iroko.
• No Need to sand between coats; will not crack or flake.

Product Data

APPLICATION AND USE

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.

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.
