Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Application Method
- Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
- Applications
Exterior log and timber framed structures.
- Preparation
- Inspect wood surfaces for defects and make any necessary repairs.
- Use Sansin cleaner and/or wash the entire surface with a minimum 3000 PSI pressure washer use clean water.
- Sand the surface well using a 60-80 grit paper and random orbital sanders.
- Follow by power washing, vacuuming or using compressed air for proper cleaning. Surface must be clean, free from dust, dirt, grease, wax or any existing coatings.
Application Methods
Always flood surface to the point of saturation.
- Dipping.
- Brushing.
- Flood coating.
- Spraying – hand or automated spraying (low pressure or airless)
General Working Procedure
- Stir well before and during the application process.
- Test formula on an inconspicuous wood surface to ensure proper color and penetration.
- Apply in proper conditions with an ideal temperature of 21°C (70°F) and relative humidity of approximately 50%.
- Do not apply if rain or near freezing temperatures are expected.
- Saturate the wood surface.
- Brush out any puddles and runs.
- Apply to dry wood surface only.
- Do not apply on wood that is warm to touch.
- Continually check the surface; wipe up all puddles and brush out runs.
- Always read published directions for use prior to beginning any project.
Working Procedure - Naturals Wood Tones & Translucent
- Apply Classic 1 as per the directions outlined in the General Working Procedure.
- Allow to dry for 24 hours in proper drying conditions at 20˚C (68˚F) and 50% relative humidity. Longer dry times are required for cold temperatures and/or high humidity (>70%).
- Apply appropriately tinted Classic 2 formula as per the directions outlined in the General Working Procedure. Note that Classic 2 has a glossy appearance that enhances color clarity and defines wood grain. Allow to dry for 24 hours in proper drying conditions.
- Apply appropriately tinted Classic 3 formula as per the directions outlined in the General Working Procedure
Working Procedure - Light Colored Wood Tones
- Prepare and apply Sansin Foundation according to published directions for use.
- Allow to dry for 24 hours in proper drying conditions at 20˚C (68˚F) and 50% relative humidity. Longer dry times are required for cold temperatures and/or high humidity (>70%).
- Apply appropriately tinted Classic 2 formula as per the directions outlined in the General Working Procedure. Note that Classic 2 has a glossy appearance that enhances color clarity and defines wood grain. Allow to dry for 24 hours in proper drying conditions.
- Apply appropriately tinted Classic 3 formula as per the directions outlined in the General Working Procedure.
Working Procedure - Colors & Other Wood Tones
- Apply appropriately tinted Classic 2 formula as per the directions outlined in the General Working Procedure. Because Saturated andUltra-Saturated colors offer enhanced weather and UV protection they don’t require Classic 1. Allow to dry for 24 hours in proper drying conditions at 20˚C (68˚F) and 50% relative humidity. Longer dry times are required for cold temperatures and/or high humidity (>70%).
- Apply appropriately tinted Classic 3 formula as per the directions outlined in the General Working Procedure.
- Maintenance
Vertical surfaces require maintenance every 4-6 years. Timing of maintenance coats will depend on quality of prior preparation, workmanship, color, application and exposure levels. Regular maintenance, will provide long-lasting color retention, exceptional dimensional stabilization and water repellency. Periodically, clean the wood surface with a power washer or Sansin Multi-Wash to remove dirt and residue. When the surface shows signs of wear such as fading or erosion a maintenance coat is needed. Use a power washer to lightly clean the wood surface or Sansin Multi-Wash. For Light or Natural wood tones, apply 1 maintenance coat of Sansin Classic Naturals Topcoat according to application instructions. For all other wood tones, apply 1 maintenance coat of Classic 3 according to application instructions and color appropriately.
- Clean Up
Clean hands and tools with soap and water.
