PREPARATION
PREPARATION IS KEY TO A SUCCESSFUL PROJECT
Inspect wood surfaces for defects and make any
necessary repairs.
Use Sansin cleaner and/or wash the entire surface with
a minimum 3000 PSI pressure washer use clean water.
Sand the surface well using a 60-80 grit paper and
random orbital sanders.
Follow by power washing, vacuuming or using compressed air for
proper cleaning. Surface must be clean, free from dust, dirt, grease,
wax or any existing coatings.
APPLICATION METHODS
Always flood the surface to the point of saturation
Dipping
Brushing
Flood coating
Spraying °C hand or automated spraying (low pressure or airless)
WORKING PROCEDURE
Stir well before and during the application process.
Test formula on an inconspicuous wood surface to
ensure proper color and penetration.
Apply in proper conditions: Ideal temperature of 21 °C (70 F) and
relative humidity of approximately 50%
Do not apply if rain or near freezing temperatures are expected.
Saturate the wood surface.
Brush out any puddles and runs and level the finish.
Do not apply on wood that is warm to touch.
Do not apply in direct sunlight.
Continually check the surface; wipe up all puddles and
brush out runs.

APPLICATION OVERVIEW
MAINTENANCE
Horizontal surfaces require maintenance every 1-4 years. Maintenance
is necessary when the surface shows signs of wear, such as fading
or erosion. Maintaining your wood on a regular basis will ensure
long-lasting color retention, exceptional dimensional stabilization and
effective water repellency. Periodically, clean the wood surface with a
power washer or Sansin Multi-Wash to remove dirt and residue. How
frequently maintenance coats are required will depend on the quality
of prior preparation, quality of application and exposure levels. If fading
or erosion is evident, prepare wood by using a power washer to lightly
clean the wood surface; or use Sansin Multi-Wash. Then re-apply one
maintenance coat of Sansin DEC according to instructions. Exposure,
workmanship and color will affect the performance of the coating.
STORAGE
Shelf life when stored in ideal conditions is 3 years. Store at a
temperature of between + 10°C and + 30°C (50°F and 86°F). Keep
containers tightly closed.
