Sokrates Wood Stain, Oak 0.7 kg

SOKRATES® Wood Stain is a water-dilutable stain. It is intended for outdoor and indoor environments, for industrial production, crafts, and hobby use. It protects wood from UV radiation. It creates silky glossy, pleasant to the touch velvet surfaces. Modified linseed oil gives the stain extreme penetration properties. The strongly hydrophobic stain minimizes moisture penetration into the wood. The surface of the Stain resists mold and fungus attacks, preventing their further growth into the wooden substrate. The stain dries more slowly. It is not diluted before use, only if necessary.

Advantages:

• water dilutable stain with UV filter
• excellent velvet surface
• the surface is resistant to mold and fungi, blocking their growth into the wood
• resistant to peeling and blistering
• odorless and neutral in character
• long-lasting resistance to weather effects

Use:

• especially stressed wooden surfaces
• cladding of buildings, cabins
• garden furniture, pergolas
• wooden parts of children's playgrounds
• balustrade fillings, windows, fences
• ideal for renovation coatings

Application:

SOKRATES Wood Stain is suitable for top coatings of outdoor wooden cladding of buildings, pergolas, fences, cabins, entrance doors, windows, etc. In interiors, it is used for coatings of ceilings, wall cladding, beams in attics, and similar. We recommend preparing the wood surface for outdoor application by sanding with sandpaper No. 80 - 100. NOT with a rotary sander. A perfectly smooth wood surface is not ideal. Although the Wood Stain is not a special coating material for wooden floors, it is still suitable for coatings of outdoor walkable areas with a non-slip relief. For example, around pools, porches of cabins, and similar. For footwear soiled with sand, a cleaning zone is suitable. It withstands weathering effects significantly longer than oils. The recommended application layer is 2 to 3 coats, depending on the degree of load, exposure, etc.

Where there is a risk of wood damage by wood-destroying fungi due to humidity, we recommend treating the wood with Lignofix E plus or another suitable biocidal agent before applying the stain. Any other biocidal product must be tested in advance and the manufacturer’s recommended interval for subsequent application of water-dilutable coatings must be strictly observed. Lignofix E plus must have a time gap of 2 days before applying the stain. Footwear soiled with sand damages the surface. The contaminated surface must not be scrubbed, especially when wet, with hard brushes. The surface must ensure free drainage of water. Non-absorbent woods with high tannin content prolong drying.

Hard, low-absorbent woods: oak, Siberian pine, Siberian larch, ash, etc. Due to the high tannin content, subsequent slow drying, and the risk of leaching of tannins, we recommend applying the first coat of the Wood Stain diluted with water in the ratio of 1:1. After drying - about 12 - 24 hours, apply the second and third layers.
For woods with a high tannin content (oak, black locust, teak, bangkirai, larch, Douglas fir, MERBAU !!!! caution), leaching may occur due to rain. This can cause the formation of stains on the wood and discoloration of light walls and plasters. Remember suitable plumbing elements – drip edges.

Softwoods: – spruce, linden, alder, etc. SOKRATES® Wood Stain is applied to new wooden substrates 2 to 3 times, depending on the surface stress. In renovation coatings, it is essential to carefully remove all previous coatings that may reduce the absorbency of the surface. These surfaces significantly prolong drying, initiate stickiness, smudging, and can even cause reduced lifespan. After each use, close the container very carefully. Do not leave the container unnecessarily open!

Application:

SOKRATES Wood Stain is preferably applied with a brush, suitable roller, or spraying, while continuously brushing off and at a minimum temperature of the coating material, air, and substrate + 10 °C and throughout the drying period. The recommended temperature for application: + 18 °C to + 23 °C

Diluent: Water.

Cleaning tools: With water, dried paint can be removed with organic solvents.
