Who This Product Is For

This product suits professionals and home users working on metal restoration, marine maintenance, or wood preservation projects.

It is designed for those needing to improve paint adhesion on problematic surfaces like rusted metal, porous wood, or galvanised materials.

Key Features

• Rust Protection: Creates a solid barrier on rusted surfaces, preventing further corrosion.
• Paint Additive: Improves flow and adhesion of oil/alkyd-based coatings, avoiding the use of damaging thinners.
• Multi-Surface Application: Suitable for metals, porous woods, and even galvanised surfaces, without additional preparation.
• Flexible Finish: Adapts to both interior and exterior conditions and stands up well in tough environments.
• Enhanced Workability: Extends wet edge time, allowing more precise application.

Key Benefits

• Prevents rust spread by sealing and stabilising affected surfaces.

• Reduces paint peeling by filling the pores of dry, soft, or porous wood.
• Works well across various materials, including aluminium and zinc.

Practical Applications

The Owatrol Marine Oil Paint Conditioner is ideal for tackling rusted metal, conditioning dry timber, and improving paint performance. Its design gives consistent results across a variety of uses, such as:

• Metal Restoration: Ideal for machinery, railings, and steel structures.
• Marine Maintenance: Perfect for ship hulls and other marine equipment to combat rust.
• Wood Preservation: Conditions porous wood to enhance paint adherence and performance.
• Galvanised Surfaces: Acts as a primer without the need for weathering or pickling.
• General Repairs: Handles both horizontal and vertical surfaces without fuss.

How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This product is used during surface preparation before painting. It is applied directly to rusted areas or mixed with oil-based paints to create a stable base layer that improves adhesion and prevents further corrosion.

It serves as a conditioning treatment that prepares problematic surfaces for final topcoats, eliminating the need for additional primers on materials like galvanised steel or porous wood.

How to Use

1. Prepare the Surface: Clean thoroughly to remove grease, dirt, and loose debris. For oily metal, a degreaser spray can help before you treat the rust. For rusted areas, scrape off flaky material before applying.
2. Apply Neatly or Mixed: Use the product directly on rusted surfaces or mix it with oil or alkyd-based paints if needed. Stir well to achieve an even consistency.
3. Application Method: Apply with a brush, roller, or spray equipment, for an even coat. On larger areas, a 12 inch roller application kit can speed up coverage.
4. Drying Time: Allow sufficient time for the product to dry before applying any topcoat.
5. Topcoat (Optional): For maintaining a rustic appearance, overcoat with a compatible varnish like OXID VERNIS.

Storage and Maintenance Tips

• Store the container tightly sealed in a cool, dry location to maintain its effectiveness.
• Clean tools promptly after use to prevent residue build-up.
• Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures during storage for best results.

Not Suitable For

• Not designed for use with water-based paints or coatings
