Lanotec’s Timber Seal contains lanolin, an all natural ingredient which acts as a barrier against the harsh effects of the Australian climate. The effects of weathering can render our skin lifeless. Timber reacts in a similar fashion.
Lanotec’s Timber Seal provides adequate protection for any outdoor furniture, external decking, structural timbers, doors and windows. Thereby, it can extend timber life. Timber Seal is easy to apply and is non-toxic, non-leaching and non-polluting. So anyone can take to the timber with gusto.
Lanotec has a few easy tips for applying Timber Seal:
• For decking surfaces and other dressed timber, Timber Seal is best applied with a flat lambswool applicator, brushed or rolled.
• If the timber has turned grey due to weathering, sand surface lightly and clean thoroughly before applying.
• Oily resins or high moisture content in the timber will affect the penetration rate of Timber Seal, leading to a patchy colouring of the timber. It is important the timber be clean and dry before applying.
• Previously untreated timber must be treated against mould and/or fungus spores (use any quality broad spectrum agent).
• When the timber begins to show signs of dryness or lost water repellence, it is time to recoat. As a general rule for outdoor items, apply annually. For indoor items apply as required. No preparation is needed – simply go straight over the existing coat.
• Remember to apply coats lightly and sparingly. Less is better when using Timber Seal. If you over apply the product you will end up with a tacky finish.
