How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This wood treatment is applied during the preparation stage before finishing. After cleaning and preparing the wood surface, the treatment is brushed, rolled, or sprayed on to create a protective barrier against fungi and insects.

Once the treatment has dried for at least 4 hours, the wood can then receive decorative finishes like paint, stain, or varnish. The treatment forms the protective foundation layer in the wood preservation process.

1. Surface Preparation:
   • Clean the wood surface, ensuring it is free from dust, grease, and old coatings
2. Application:
   • Apply using a brush, roller, or spray. Ensure even coverage across the wood
3. Drying Time:
   • Allow the treatment to dry for a minimum of 4 hours before any subsequent application
4. Finishing:
   • Once dried completely, the wood can be painted, stained, or varnished as desired
5. Safety Measures:
