Overview

Sadolin Quick Dry UV Protection Woodstain is a versatile, water-based woodstain designed to colour, enhance and protect both interior and exterior wood surfaces. Delivering exceptional 10-year protection, it combines long-lasting durability with fast-drying efficiency, perfect for completing projects in a single day. Thanks to its quick-dry technology, the woodstain is touch dry in just 1 hour and ready for a second coat within 4 to 6 hours. The advanced microporous formulation offers breathability and flexibility, allowing the surface to move with the natural expansion and contraction of wood caused by changing weather. This helps prevent common issues like peeling, flaking, and blistering, ensuring a smooth, long-lasting finish.

Preparation

Ensure the surface is sound, suitably dry, and free from anything that will interfere with the adhesion of the materials to be applied. Timber surfaces must be suitably prepared.

• The moisture content should not exceed 18% prior to coating.
• Resinous deposits should be removed.
• Degrease any exposed bare timber by wiping with a clean, lint free cloth dampened with methylated spirits, frequently changing the face of the cloth. Allow the solvent to fully evaporate.
• Abrade sound timber surfaces in the direction of the grain using medium/medium fine grade (P180/P240) pads/abrasive paper (nothing metallic), taking care not to damage or scratch across surfaces. Remove dust.
• “Knotting agents” should not be used with Sadolin systems.
• Use Sadolin Sadolin Wood fillers to make good any minor surface defects. General or all-purpose fillers are not suitable.
• We recommend the use of non-ferrous screws, nails, and fixings. Exposed ferrous items may corrode and break the coating film over time if not suitably primed/treated prior to decorating

New Timber:

• Timber exposed to the elements for longer than two weeks should be thoroughly sanded back to clean, bright timber.
• Organic growths should be treated with a suitable fungicidal solution and coat any non-treated wood with two liberal coats of Sadolin Quick Dry Wood Preserver paying particular attention to end grains. Allow 24 hours before overcoating.
• Where possible, the basecoat, Sadolin 10 Year Quick Dry UV Protection Woodstain, should be applied, all round, prior to fixing.

Previously Coated Timber:

• Remove all defective coatings.
• Grey denatured timber should be mechanically sanded back to clean, bright timber and treat as new.
• Organic growths should be treated with a suitable fungicidal solution and removed.
• Remaining sound surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and mild detergent, rinse thoroughly with clean water, and allow to dry.
• Lightly abrade in the direction of the grain, taking care not to break the surface coating. Remove dust.
• Lightly abrade in the direction of the grain, taking care not to break the surface coating. Remove dust. If a coloured base stain is required in order to match the existing factory applied coating, use Sadolin 10 Year Quick Dry UV Protection Woodstain in the most appropriate colour.

Colour guidance: The final colour and sheen of translucent coatings are dependent on timber species, colour, cut and presence of existing coating amongst other factors. We recommend a trial application in an inconspicuous area prior to commencement of work to check for colour accuracy. Always intermix (box) packs for colour consistency.

Application

Always test a small area of the surface to be treated to ensure you are happy with the finished results

• Stir well before and during use. Use a good quality synthetic bristle brush.
• Apply in a full flowing coat, maintaining a wet edge. Ensure all surfaces, tops and bottoms of doors, end grains and undersides of Cills are coated. Avoid overspreading.

Note: Avoid applying in direct sun and onto warm or hot surfaces.

COATING SYSTEM:

Exterior Application:
• New Timber - 3 coats are required to achieve durability.
• Previously coated timber - patch stain with Sadolin 10 Year Quick Dry Woodstain, followed by 2 full coats of Sadolin 10 Year Quick Dry Woodstain.

Interior Application:
• New timber - 2-3 coats to achieve required depth of colour.
• Previously coated timber: patch stain with Sadolin 10 Year Quick Dry Woodstain followed by a full coat of Sadolin 10 Year Quick Dry Woodstain.
• On interior surfaces where extra durability is required e.g. Skirting boards and doors, we would recommend a further application of 2 coats of Sadolin Polyurethane Varnish.

Note: With certain substrates profiles and colours, it may be necessary to apply additional coats to achieve required colour.

Always follow manufacturer's instructions found on the tin

Aftercare & Storage

Maintenance requirement is indicated by lightening of colour, reduction in sheen or loss of water repellence. Between maintenance redecoration, surfaces may be washed with a warm water and liquid detergent solution to remove surface dirt, rinse with clean water, and allow to dry.

Store the product upright and secure, in secure dry conditions inaccessible to children or animals. Containers should be kept closed during storage. Do not store below 5ºC or above 40ºC.
