Grey Cedar Oil
Treatex Grey Cedar Oil penetrates deeply into timber surfaces and in a similar way to bark, attaches to the wood capillaries providing protection against extreme climate conditions.
Treatex Grey Cedar Oil will immediately enhance the colour of Cedar to achieve the naturally greyed effect that comes with age, whilst still protecting and allowing the timber to mature. This can be maintained through future applications of Grey Cedar Oil or be left to mature naturally over time as required.
Suitable for use on children's toys
e.g. Oak, Sweet chestnut
Best applied with a brush or roller
Protects the timber from water ingress and silvering
Contains natural pigments that provide excellent UV protection without obscuring the timber grain
Product Specs
Usage/coverage
Suitable for: internal and external use
Recommended timbers: Cedar and Larch
Applications: cladding, windows and doors
2.5L will cover approximately 35m² in one coat depending on timber and method of application.
Rough sawn timbers will increase consumption by a factor of 2 to 3. It is advisable to sand the timber surface first to create a smoother area to apply to or speak to one of the Team at Treatex to discuss further options to improve coverage.
Preparation/Application
Preparation
Treatex Grey Cedar Oil works best on unfinished timber. Previous finishes which stop Treatex Grey Cedar Oil penetrating into the timber (e.g. paint and other ‘closed’ finishes) must be fully removed prior to application. Previous porous finishes should be lightly sanded before overcoating. When overcoating a previously finished surface, a trial application is essential. Flaking or peeling finishes must be fully removed prior to application. Ensure the timber is dry and free from possible contaminates e.g. algae, grease, dirt, dust etc. Timbers susceptible to decay, mould and fungi should be treated first with a suitable preservative. We advise that when using Treatex Grey Cedar Oil, sufficient product is purchased to complete the whole project and when more than one tin is required it is advisable to mix them together before use. Timber must have a moisture content below 18%. Temperature must be between 8𝖼 and 25𝖼 during application and drying. We strongly recommend a trial application prior to starting the project.
Application
Stir tins thoroughly, before and during use. Use a brush or roller to evenly apply Treatex Grey Cedar Oil in the same direction as the wood grain. Pay particular attention to end grain, on end grain apply liberally. If possible, treat all sides of the timber for the first coat. After approximately 12 hours the first coat can be overcoated. Apply with a brush or roller a second coat of Treatex Grey Cedar Oil. After the second coat leave for approximately 12 hours to dry. Treatex Grey Cedar Oil is not a surface building product.
Tips
Treatex brushes and rollers are available. Wet brushes and rollers can be cleaned with Treatex Thinner or white spirit. Store tins in a cool and frost free environment. Unopened tins will last for five years. Once tins are opened, transfer contents to smaller airtight container.
