SICO ProLuxe 1 Primary Coat Application Guide:

Overview:

1 Primary Coat RE (Reduced Emissions) Wood Finish is a premium transparent exterior wood basecoat to be used with 23 Top Coat RE Wood Finish. Its oil alkyd formulation offers excellent penetration and adhesion to vertical wood surfaces.

Recommended Substrates:

  • Log Homes
  • Wood Doors
  • Garage Doors
  • Outdoor Furniture
  • Wood Trim
  • Wood Siding

General Surface Preparation:

All wood surfaces must be thoroughly clean, dry and free of dirt, grease, grim, mildew, mill glaze and previous coatings before application. Spray all wood surfaces with clean water, completely wetting the wood. Apply a cleaning solution of four (4) ounces of 100% powdered Tri-Sodium Phosphate (TSP) or phosphate-free substitute with one (1) quart of liquid bleach and three (3) quarts of water to the wood surfaces with a garden sprayer or a heavy nap roller cover. Scrub surface with a hard bristle brush for 15-20 minutes to help remove mill glaze or weathering. Do not allow solution to dry on the wood surface. Power-wash wood surface with clean fresh water using 500-800 psi with the nozzle 8-12 inches away to remove cleaning solution. Allow the surface to dry for 48 hours, or to have a moisture content of 18% or less before application. Sand all cleaned wood using 80-120 grit sandpaper. Always sand in direction of the wood grain and remove sanding dust. Finish should be applied within four weeks, provided that the surface remains free of dirt, grease, grim and mildew.

New Wood - Clean and prepare all wood surfaces as specified above. Pressure treated wood must be properly seasoned, dry with a moisture content of 18% or less and free of salts and other water soluble materials. Water- repellent treated lumber requires one year minimum of weathering.

Exotic Hardwood - Ipe, mahogany, iron wood, tiger wood and teak woods exhibit a dense cell structure which may reduce the ability of a
coating to penetrate the wood surface. Clean and prepare surface as specified above. Immediately prior to applying coating, wipe surface with
acetone.

Previously Coated Wood - Previous coatings must be completely removed prior to application. Once previous coatings are removed, clean
and prepare surface as specified above.

Note:

1 Primary Coat RE must be topcoated with two coats of 23 Top Coat RE, following label application directions. Since outdoor furniture and fences are considered to be in a high-moisture environment, two coats of 1 Primary Coat RE would be your best method of application.

Maintenance:

To maintain the products’ protective characteristics, apply a maintenance coat, when visibly required or sheen appears dull and before wood starts to turn grey. Clean and prepare surface as specified above. Apply one coat of 23 Top Coat RE, Log & Siding Wood Finish, or Maintenance RE. NOTE: Areas that have minimum wear should be coated lightly. Hardwoods may require more frequent maintenance.

Note:

Tannin containing woods, such as redwood, red cedar, mahogany, Douglas fir, etc., contain tannic acid which tends to migrate to the surface and can discolor the finish. The discoloration is not harmful and can usually be removed by cleaning with a solution of four (4) ounces of oxalic acid to one gallon of warm water. Apply with a garden sprayer or heavy nap roller cover. Allow to sit on surface for 20 min. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. DO NOT ALLOW solution to dry on wood surface.

Happy with Service.

This was a very smooth transaction with quick delivery. So happy to find this product in a smaller size can. No one wants to buy a gallon for a small job. Wish that the cetol 23 was sold in a litre can also or even in a tester pot size so people can see how the different colours look on the wood being used. It's an excellent product.
