Practical Applications

The Sika Sikagard Woodworm Killer is suitable for treating floorboards, window frames, and roof timbers. Its design supports full coverage, helping protect against re-infestation across interior wood surfaces.

How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This treatment is applied after identifying woodworm infestation and preparing the wood surface. It serves as the primary protective treatment before any decorative finishes are applied.

The process involves thorough application to all affected areas, followed by drying time, after which painting, staining, or varnishing can proceed if desired.

How to Use

1. Application Method:
   • Apply using a brush, a 5L pressure sprayer, or by dipping for effective coverage.
2. Coating Process:
   • Use at least two coats when brushing or spraying. Let the first coat absorb before applying the second.
3. End Grain Treatment:
   • Thoroughly soak end grains for maximum protection, ideally by dipping for three minutes. Decanting into a paint kettle with lid can help keep the liquid clean while you work.
4. Drying Time:
   • Allow approximately one hour for drying, depending on environmental conditions.
5. Final Finish:
   • Once dry, the surface can be painted, stained, or varnished if desired.

Storage and Maintenance

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Keep the container sealed when not in use to maintain product efficacy.
• Regularly check treated areas to ensure ongoing protection and reapply as necessary.
