Surface Preparation and Application.
Check the moisture content of the surface (maximum 18%) -
Ensure that all decayed or excessively soft wood, and weathered, damaged or burnt wood is completely removed until a sound wood substrate is achieved- All surfaces must be free of dust, dirt, grease, raised wood fibres and general surface contamination.
Remove any paint coatings from the surfaces to be treated and sand back to bare wood.
On all timber applications, pre-treat the affected area with DRY FIX 4. removing any excess that has not penetrated with absorbent paper.
Practical Recommendations and Useful Hints
Mix the components A and B until the mixture has a homogeneous / even colour
Avoid exposing the mixed products to direct sunlight (it reduces the application period)
Spread the mixed DRY FLEX 4 in a thin layer over the mixing plate (increases the application period)
When modelling corners and large repairs, the use of Perspex acrylic strips is very effective.-
DRY FLEX can be coloured by adding a very small quantity of concentrated pigment
Repaired and exposed areas of timber should be painted or stained within one week.
