Full details

Its key benefit is providing a transparent, wax-free barrier against wood-decaying fungi and blue stain, preparing surfaces for subsequent finishes.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this on previously painted wood?

No, this product is intended for new or untreated timber. Previously coated wood must have all old finishes completely removed down to the bare surface before application.

What is the coverage rate?

The coverage is up to 10m² per litre, depending on the application method and the absorbency of the wood.

How long should I wait before applying a topcoat?

Allow the wood preserver to dry completely. A minimum of 24 hours is recommended between coats, and ensure the surface is fully dry before applying paint, stain, or varnish.

Can this product be thinned?

No, Sadolin Quick Drying Wood Preserver is ready to use straight from the tin and should not be thinned.

Is this product suitable for hardwoods?

While primarily for softwoods, it can be used on hardwoods after ensuring proper surface preparation, particularly the removal of any natural oils or resins.

What is the drying time?

It is touch dry within 2 hours, but a full 24 hours is required for complete drying between coats and before applying finishes.

What are the storage conditions?

Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed.

Troubleshooting

Product not adhering well to wood.

Ensure the wood surface was properly prepared, clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or resin. Re-sanding may be necessary.

Slow drying time.

Check ambient temperature and humidity. Ensure conditions are within the recommended range (above 8°C, below 80% humidity). Avoid application in damp or cold conditions.

Wood still shows signs of decay after treatment.

Ensure the wood was not already extensively decayed before treatment. Apply a second coat as per instructions and ensure all surfaces, including end grains, are saturated.

Surface remains sticky after 24 hours.

This may indicate conditions were not optimal for drying or that the product was applied too thickly. Allow more time in a well-ventilated area, or apply a very thin coat of a compatible topcoat to seal it if absolutely necessary and testing in an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation:

Ensure the timber surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, dirt, or grease. The wood's moisture content should not exceed 18%.
For new wood, remove any resinous deposits with a scraper or sandpaper and clean with methylated spirits.
Fill any imperfections with Sadolin Wood Filler or Sadolin Stainable Wood Filler.
For previously coated or old wood, completely remove old finishes by sanding or using a stripper, then sand back weathered timber to a clean, bare surface.

Application:

Stir the preserver thoroughly before and during use. Do not thin.
Apply generously using a synthetic brush or by short-term immersion (3-10 minutes).
Apply a second coat after a minimum of 24 hours.
Avoid application if rain is expected, or if air/substrate temperatures are below 8°C, or relative humidity is above 80%.
Protect treated surfaces from frost and rain until fully dry.

Compatibility:

This preserver is suitable for new and untreated timber, both indoors and outdoors. Once dry, it is compatible with most standard wood stains, paints, and varnishes.

Care:

Clean application tools with water immediately after use. Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed.
