3. Setup and Surface Preparation
Proper surface preparation is crucial for optimal adhesion and finish quality. The Woox 365 Acrylic Wood Finish is designed for easy application, but a clean and dry surface is essential.
- Clean the Surface: Ensure the wood surface is free from dirt, grease, mold, mildew, and any other contaminants. Use a suitable wood cleaner if necessary.
- Remove Old Finishes: If applying over an existing finish, ensure it is sound and not peeling. For best results, remove loose or flaking old finishes by sanding or stripping.
- Sand (Optional but Recommended): Lightly sand the wood surface with fine-grit sandpaper (e.g., 120-180 grit) to create a smooth, uniform surface and improve adhesion.
- Remove Dust: After cleaning and sanding, thoroughly remove all dust and debris using a vacuum, brush, or damp cloth. Allow the wood to dry completely before application.
- Ensure Dryness: The wood must be completely dry. Moisture content should be appropriate for exterior wood (typically below 18%).
4. Application Instructions
Follow these steps for effective application of Woox 365 Acrylic Wood Finish:
- Stir Thoroughly: Before and during application, stir the product well to ensure uniform consistency and color. Do not shake.
- Application Tools: Apply using a high-quality synthetic brush, roller, or spray equipment.
- First Coat: Apply a thin, even coat along the grain of the wood. Avoid over-application, which can lead to drips or an uneven finish.
- Drying Time: Allow the first coat to dry completely. Drying times can vary based on temperature, humidity, and ventilation, but typically range from 2-4 hours.
- Second Coat: Apply a second thin, even coat. For enhanced durability and protection, especially on high-traffic areas or surfaces exposed to harsh weather, a third coat may be applied after the second coat has dried.
- Coverage: The estimated coverage is 4-5 square meters per liter, depending on the porosity and texture of the wood.
- Curing Time: The finish will be dry to the touch relatively quickly, but full hardness and protective properties develop over several days. Avoid heavy use or exposure to moisture during the initial curing period.
5. Maintenance
To maintain the beauty and protective qualities of your Woox 365 Acrylic Wood Finish:
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the finished surface periodically with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Inspect Annually: Annually inspect the finished wood for any signs of wear, damage, or loss of protection.
- Reapplication: Reapply a fresh coat of Woox 365 as needed, typically every 1-3 years depending on exposure to elements and traffic. Lightly clean and prepare the surface as described in Section 3 before reapplication.
6. Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:
- Uneven Finish: Ensure the surface is properly prepared and clean. Apply thin, even coats, working along the wood grain. Avoid applying too much product at once.
- Poor Adhesion/Peeling: This often indicates improper surface preparation. Ensure the wood is thoroughly cleaned, dry, and free of old, loose finishes. Sanding can improve adhesion.
- Bubbles: Bubbles can occur from over-stirring, applying too thickly, or using a low-quality applicator. Stir gently, apply thin coats, and use a good quality brush or roller.
- Slow Drying: High humidity, low temperatures, or poor ventilation can extend drying times. Ensure adequate airflow and apply in recommended temperature ranges.
