Wood Preparation: Surface must be dry (wood moisture content below 15%), solid, finely sanded (180 grain), absorbent, clean and free of resin and dust. For windows and other dimensionally stable wood, the moisture content of coniferous wood and tropical deciduous wood should be less than 15%; for European deciduous wood the moisture content should not exceed 12%. Pre-treat resin-rich wood by brushing with SVALOS Thinner No. 222, and exotic wood with KIROS Thinner No. 710, then rub dry.

Interior wood: Prime with DUBNO Penetrating Priming Oil No. 261, remove any excess oil after 20 minutes. Sand as soon as drying time is over. After that, and, depending on the area covered and the degree of protection needed, 1 to 3 applications are required. It is recommended to re-brush the surface 5 to 15 minutes after each application.

Please, pay attention to the drying times!

Exterior wood: Prime with ADAO External Primer No. 259, the amount needed depends on the absorbency of the wood. Oak and other wood rich in tanning agents must be primed with LINUS Penetrating Oak Priming Oil No. 233. Remove surplus oil after 20 minutes. Sand in-between. Apply three thin coats of KALDET Transparent Wood Stain No. 270 within four weeks. Please, pay attention to the drying times!

OSB Follow the preparation instructions for "wood". For interior decoration and design: 1 coat KALDET Transparent Wood Stain No. 270 and 3 coats KUNOS Natural Oil Sealer No. 244.

Multiplex, veneer, glued wood (interior): Surface must be dry, solid, absorbent, clean and free of dust. Sand surface with 180-grain paper. Depending on surface requirements, apply 2 - 3 thin coats of KALDET Transparent Wood Stain No. 270.

Renovation of open-pored surfaces: Rough sawn surfaces can retain dust and dirt particles from the environment, making it possible for fungi to grow under the right climate conditions. Grey to black discoloration can be removed with GLOUROS Natural Siding and Masonry Cleaner No. 1806, using with a brush or a high-pressure cleaner. Old paint coatings must be cleaned and sanded. Subsequent treatment has to be done like the first coating. Timely re-staining requires only an intermediary and/or final coat, while overdue re-staining requires a complete new start. Strongly weathered surfaces require at least 2 - 3 coatings. Depending on the weather conditions, the type of wood, and the color chosen, maximum re-staining time will vary. Wood that comes in contact with water should be re-stained regularly.

Renovation of closed-pored surfaces Pore-clogging coatings (oil-based paints, thick-layered coatings, wax coats) must be sanded or stripped until there is no old residue. Surface must be dry, solid, absorbent, neutral, clean and free of dust. Follow the instructions for initial treatment and then carefully observe the potential absorbency problems during drying times.

Important tips Always do a test application first. Stir thoroughly before use. The colors 022 boxwood, 032 pine, and 052 brazil require at least three coatings to develop a layer formation. When purchasing more than one container of paint, be sure that all containers have the same batch number. Remove possible skin formed on surface. Provide enough ventilation during application and drying times. With oak or other wood species containing tannic acid or dyes, or with sanded, stripped, or pre-treated wooden surfaces, discoloration is possible within one week. KALDET Transparent Wood Stain No. 270 does not contain fungicides. Rough sawn wood is prone to blue-staining fungi; therefore rough surfaces must be sanded. Wood that is prone to blue-staining fungi and back aired paneling must be treated with ADAO External Primer No. 259.

Seams of new windows should be treated with a single, very thin coat of KALDET No. 270. Silicone sealant should be applied only after complete drying, but should not be painted over with KALDET No. 270. Linseed oil based putty can be painted over after one day.

The use of wax over a colored stain can cause the color to lighten slightly.

The colors "white" and "light grey" tend to yellow in low light conditions (yellowing due to the linseed oil). The colors "white" and "light grey" must not be painted over with KALDET Transparent Wood Stain "clear" or any other LIVOS oil, as the surface may yellow.
