Specifications
Preparation
Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from grease, dirt, oil, wax, all loose material and surface contamination. Use recommended Tikkurila products for mould removal and cleaning.
Application
Methods: brushing or dipping.
Thinning: Valtti Base normally requires no thinning.
Painting conditions
All surfaces to be painted must be dry, the moisture content of the wood below 20%, the temperature of the air at least +5 deg. C, and the relative humidity of the air below 80%.
Painting
Stir thoroughly before and during use. Apply Valtti Base liberally overall, paying particular attention to end-grains, joints, cracks, etc. On very absorbent wood two coats of Valtti Base may be necessary. Protect plants from splashes of Valtti Base.
Coverage
Smooth wood: 8-10 m2/litre per coat. Sawn wood: 4-5 m2/litre per coat. Actual spreading rates will depend upon many factors including texture, porosity and moisture content of the substrate.
Drying times
At 23 deg. C and 50% relative humidity of the air: normally touch-dry in 1/2 hour and recoatable after 24 hours.
Cleaning of tools
Clean immediately after use with white spirit.
