FAQs

What surfaces can I use Sadolin Beautiflex Solvent Opaque Woodstain on?

It is suitable for all exterior wood, including new timber, previously painted surfaces, and previously stained wood. It's ideal for features like window frames, doors, cladding, and garden furniture.

How long does the protection last?

It offers up to 7 years of protection on most exterior wood. Please note that the protection period for decking is shorter due to higher wear and tear.

What are the ideal conditions for application?

Apply when the temperature is between 5°C and 25°C, and avoid periods of high humidity or when rain is expected. Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and well-prepared.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Clean your brushes immediately after use with a proprietary brush cleaner. Do not allow the product to dry on the equipment.

Can I use this to change the colour of my wood?

Yes, the opaque finish is excellent for transforming weathered or faded wood and achieving a significant colour change.

What is the recoat time?

You should allow between 16 to 24 hours between coats, depending on the ambient temperature and humidity.

Is this product suitable for decking?

Yes, it can be used on decking, but the protective lifespan is shorter than the 7 years offered on other exterior wood surfaces due to the high wear and tear on decking.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Ensure the product is well-mixed and applied evenly with consistent brush strokes. Work with the grain and avoid over-brushing. Ensure the surface is properly prepared and smooth.

Coating peeling or flaking after application

This usually indicates inadequate surface preparation or application in unsuitable conditions. Ensure the wood was clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Check that application temperatures were within the recommended range (5°C-25°C) and humidity was not excessively high. For existing peeling, remove loose coating, prepare the surface, and reapply.

Product is too thick to apply smoothly

Ensure the product has been stored correctly. Very cold conditions might thicken it slightly; allow it to acclimatize to room temperature. Avoid adding thinners unless specifically recommended for extreme conditions by the manufacturer, as this can affect performance.

Slow drying time

Drying times are dependent on temperature and humidity. If drying is unusually slow, it may be due to low temperatures or high humidity. Ensure adequate ventilation in the drying area if possible.
