FORMULAS
Select the color and clarity of the finish required. Use SDF, DEC or Classic
as the first coat to bare wood for better protection against moisture
and to improve UV protection (increase color formula concentration
in penetrating undercoat and reduce in topcoats for natural clear like
finishes) Use ENS Naturals Topcoat as a universal clear like topcoat on
any full strength (or greater) natural tones in penetrating formulas or as
the maintenance coat to previous ENS (Naturals) coated surfaces.

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 using clean water.
Sand the surface well using 60-80 grit paper
and random orbital sander.
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
For previously coated surfaces apply a small test area to ensure
proper drying, adhesion and durability.
Brush using a good quality dual purpose brush.
Spray using hand or airless equipment with a .011-.013 tip.
Set pressure to ensure desirable spray pattern.
Avoid high sheer pumps.
For a gloss finish, apply ENS Optimum Clear mixed 90:10 with
the base color for the final coat.
WORKING PROCEDURE
Apply ENS to all six sides of the wood or for deep penetrating
moisture protection use Classic, SDF, Dec, KP-11 or Foundation as
the first coat to surfaces like millwork and decks.
Stir well before and during application.
Spray application is preferred using air assist or
airless spray equipment.
Apply a manageable film thickness.
Allow to dry.
Consider finish sanding for a smooth finish and remove dust.
Apply a second and third coat if necessary. Follow the above
procedures. Ensure an adequate dry film thickness of 3 mils
for optimum protection.
Do not overwork ENS as it is fast drying.
Do not apply in heat of day or direct sun.
Do not apply on wood that is warm to touch.
Do not apply if rain is expected or in near freezing temperatures.

APPLICATION OVERVIEW
MAINTENANCE
Horizontal and vertical services require maintenance every 4-5 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 of Sansin ENS 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
temperatures of between +10°C and +30°C (50°F and 86°F).
Keep containers tightly closed.
SAFETY
See Material Safety Data Sheet.
