IMPORTANT NOTES
Exterior timbers coated with clear Cutek® Wood Preservative will silver with age. If this silvering is undesirable then it is important that a suitable colourtone is obtained and mixed with clear Cutek® Wood Preservative to maintain the natural timber character and colour and retain the 'freshly oiled look'.
When selecting from the range of colour-tones allow for the timber colour to naturally lighten during the first three to eight months after application, as natural weathering and leaching occurs. Retention of colour is more durable on rusticated, or band sawn timbers, and may be maximised by including the colourtone in all applications of Cutek® Wood Preservative.
If colour-toned Cutek® Wood Preservative has faded over time, wash timbers with SARA Clean and apply a single coat of colourtoned Cutek® Wood Preservative to restore the original look of the protected timber.
Please note that the natural colour of timbers can vary significantly. Please contact Chemisys if you require custom manufactured colourtones, or free test-pots to determine the suitability of your colour selection.
