TREATMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF OUTDOOR WOODEN WINDOW AND DOOR FRAMES WITH KHUNI SEALER AND/OR SATINWOOD 28/28 BASE


IMPORTANT
  • Satinwood 28 Base is recommended for treatment of Hardwoods of low porosity.
  • Satinwood 28 is recommended for treatment of Softwoods and Hardwoods of high porosity.
  • Khuni Sealer may be used as a wood stabilizing and protective pretreatment at factory level instead of Satinwood Dip.
  • The recommended maximum moisture content of wooden window and door frames should not exceed 8 percent before treatment.
RECOMMENDED PRETREATMENT AT FACTORY LEVEL
  • Completely submerse assembled window and/or door frames into Khuni Sealer or Satinwood Dip for at least 30 to 60 seconds.
  • Remove and allow excess liquid to drain back into dip/immersion tank.
  • Allow Khuni Sealer or Satinwood Dip to absorb into the wood for at least 30 minutes.
  • Use a clean cotton cloth and wipe off all excess liquid to leave a natural smooth finish.
  • Allow to dry for approximately 24 hours, depending on prevailing conditions, before attachments of fittings and/or packaging.
IMPORTANT
  • Mix Khuni Sealer or Satinwood Dip well before addition to dip/immersion tank.
  • Always mix contents of dip/immersion tank before use and at regular intervals during use, as and when required.

  • Note: Supply or sell a sufficient volume of Satinwood 28/28 Base with the finished goods for the application of at least two further coats.
