Sikkens SIKCHLSPLO 2.5L Cetol HLS Plus Translucent Woodstain Light Oak

Sickens Citole HLS Plus Translucent Wood stain is a low build, solvent-borne semi - gloss wood stain that can be used both as a base stain and as a finishing coat. It is highly translucent to bring out the beauty of woodgrain, it protects against mould and algae and is resistant to UV radiation, peeling and cracking. Citole HLS Plus is also microporous and water-repellent It can be used as a finishing coat on exterior softwood and hardwood substrates such as cladding, fascia's, soffits, rough sawn timber and fencing. As a base stain, Citole HLS plus is readily absorbed into timber to provide a sound base for finishing coats. It can be used alone as a system on cladding, decking and garden furniture or as a base stain before the application of Citole Filter 7 plus or Citole THB plus on windows and doors. However it should not be used alone as a finish for hardwood timbers. Directions 1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free of any contaminants. Lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper and wipe off any dust. Allow the surface to dry completely. 2. Application: Stir the stain well before use. Apply the stain using a natural bristle brush or a synthetic brush designed for use with solvent-borne stains. Work in the direction of the wood grain. Apply a thin, even coat, allowing the stain to penetrate the wood. 3. Drying Time: Allow the stain to dry for at least 16 hours before applying a second coat. Between coats, lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper and wipe off any dust. 4. Finishing: After the final coat has dried for at least 48 hours, you may apply a suitable finish, such as a clear sealant or varnish, to protect the stain and enhance its durability.
