Ciranova Exterior Wood Oil

Ciranova Exterior Wood Oil protects and beautifies all horizontal and vertical exterior woodwork including decks, decking, cladding, fences, and gates. The transparency and ultra-matt appearance of the exterior wood oil make it a highly fashionable finish that highlights the natural beauty of the wood.

Ensure that surfaces to be treated are clean, dry and free of resin, grease stains or old protective coatings other than Ciranova Exterior Wood Oil, which must be maintained as normal.

1. Make sure that all old varnishes, paints, stains or oils are removed
2. Exterior Wood Oil cannot be applied over any other type of impregnations (saturator, oil)
3. Greyed woodwork should be treated
4. If necessary, apply an insecticide-fungicide treatment product
5. Light sanding (80-grit abrasive) after preparation on all surfaces, especially smooth wood or wood with a glossy, shiny surface will open the pores and facilitate penetration
6. Do not use steel wool
7. In all cases, thoroughly dust the surfaces before application

Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the container at all times.

Please note: Before applying the exterior wood oil, ensure the wood is dry with at least 3 days of warm, sunny weather before application and that there will be no risk of rain within 24 hours after the second coat. You should also not apply to wood with a moisture content above 12%.

1. Ready to use: do not dilute
2. Shake well before use and during use
3. Appy the first coat in the direction of the wood grain, using a spalter (wide brush) or roller paying particular attention to grooves, joints and ends
4. Allow to penetrate for 20 to 30 minutes
5. As soon as the wood loses its damp appearance, without waiting for the product to dry, apply the second coat
6. Smooth with a dry spalter after a few minutes to achieve a beautiful appearance, without highlights or drips
7. These would indicate the formation of a surface file, if necessary, quickly remove them by lightly sanding

Drying Times

1. Between coats: 20 to 30 minutes
2. Complete drying time: 4 hours
3. Reuse: 16 hours

The appearance of impregnated wood naturally changes due to weathering and ultraviolet radiation: the colour lightens, and over time water runoff becomes less noticeable and the wood appears to be getting wet. This characteristic change will indicate the need for maintenance.

1. Sand the surface, remove dust and clean with a suitable Exterior Maintenance Cleaner
2. Rinse thoroughly and let dry
3. Reapply Ciranova Exterior Wood Oil to the faded areas
4. Do not apply to areas where the colour has not lightened
5. If necessary, sand 80-grit abrasive then use an Exterior Deep Cleaner before applying Exterior Wood Oil as indicated above
