Cutek Extreme Wood Preservative before and after
New wood, timbers and plywood
Ensure that substrate to be coated with CUTEKExtreme® is clean and dry When CUTEKExtreme® is used on plywood or laminated timber penetration beyond the glue line may be inhibited. Cutek Extreme can be used on CCA and other treated timbers, however timbers pre-treated with invisible film-forming wax and polymer processes such as LOSP, or water-repellent dips may prevent or slow down the free diffusion of CUTEKExtreme®.
Old, or previously coated wood or timber
Old, dirty, or weathered grey surfaces should be prepared by first applying CUTEKProclean® restoration agent, and then power rinsing with a home pressure washer set to under 750 p.s.i. (50 bar), with a fan jet pattern to avoid damage to the wood fibres. This process can also remove tougher stains such as water marks, tannin stains, and grease stains. Once the timber or wood is thoroughly dry, the restoration of the surface may be completed by applying two coats of CUTEKExtreme®.
Please note that the use of high-pressure water alone to clean wood will not eliminate biological growth from the wood and may damage the wood fibres. The use of commercial and household cleaning solutions that contain bleaching agents such as sodium hypochlorite should be avoided. These chemical cleaners will harm the environment and may damage the timber tissue by producing a film forming reaction in the outer wood fibres that causes a subsequent coating failure. Wood previously coated with a film-forming product that is failing such as conventional stains, linseed oil, paint, polyurethane, etc., must first be restored to their original texture and color by preparation with a paint stripper and/or CUTEKProclean®. This process can be more complex depending on the individual circumstances, so consultation should be made with a CUTEK® dealer prior to the commencement of this type of project. The results that can be achieved from such a restoration are both dramatic and rewarding as warped and cupped wood can return to their original profile and flatness, and the original natural color and beauty of the wood can be restored.
