How To Apply Cutek CD50®
Application Technique
Avoid contact with plants, shrubs, trees and waterways. Apply liberally with spray, brush, speed-brush or roller while removing drips and sags as necessary. When using colour-toned Cutek® Wood Preservative it is essential that the pail be stirred frequently before and during use. The more Cutek® Wood Preservative that is absorbed, the longer the coating will last. Equipment may be cleaned with detergent and water, or mineral turpentine.

Maintenance
Cutek® Wood Preservative must be reapplied as frequently as necessary to retain the natural beauty and colour of the timber. Recoat time varies widely according to the age and porosity of the timber, species, situation, and exposure to the weather. Typically horizontal exterior smooth surfaces exposed to full weather such as pool decks and handrails, may require annual maintenance, while vertical rough-sawn weathersiding may require maintenance less frequently
