Overview

Sikkens Cetol BL Opaque is a high build, paint-like woodstain for use on exterior softwood and hardwood. A much more sustainable and flexible alternative to traditional paints for surfaces such as windows, doors, conservatories, cladding and fascias. Provides outstanding coverage whilst maintaining the grain texture.

Preparation

Surfaces should be thoroughly primed with Sikkens Cetol BL Primer prior to application. This ensures even coverage with the best possible bond with the substrate to minimise chances of flaking and peeling.

Ensure that surfaces to be treated are suitably prepared, clean, dry and free from surface dust, dirt, wax and grease. The moisture content should not exceed 18% prior to coating.

Application conditions should be between 5°C and 30°C, relative humidity must be no more than 85%. Moisture content of timber to be coated should not exceed 20%.

Application

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

Sikkens Cetol BL Opaque is ready for use straight from the tin and does not require thinning. Stir thoroughly before and during use to ensure a consistent finish.

  1. Apply 2 coats of Sikkens Cetol BL Opaque with a good quality, synthetic bristle brush or microfibre roller
  2. The product should be applied in a full flowing coat, laying off in the direction of the grain, using the minimum number of brush strokes necessary to produce an acceptable finish
  3. Avoid over-brushing, as this will reduce the protection afforded
  4. De-nib the surface between coats, allowing 6 hours drying time between each coat

Aftercare

Regular Cleaning

Treated surfaces can be cleaned by wiping with a lint-free cloth and warm water.

Maintenance

The finish should be inspected yearly to check for any surface defects or damage as a result of weathering. If required, areas of wear or damage can be rectified by carrying out the following.

  1. Lightly sand with a fine grade abrasive paper to keep splinters and rough edges away
  2. Remove all dust thoroughly and apply 1 or 2 coats of Sikkens Cetol BL Opaque

Exactly what I need and couldn't be more pleased

Great paint and coverage and only needs 2 coats to give total protection and lasting colour

White, silk finish long lasting woodstain

I have used this product on our sunroom, reciting it for the third time. Originally applied in 2006, then refinishing 2012. Still looked very good apart from the cills and a few corners. It is not easy to apply. You need to brush it on quite quickly and then move on, if you rebrush any it tends to roughen up quite badly. Gives a pleasant silk finish.

Excellent conservatory paint

This is one of the best paints for a conservatory, but is difficult to get hold of. Delighted to find it online. It arrived on time and was perfect for the job, which has now been completed

Excellent product - good coverage and appears to protect well

Excellent product - good coverage and appears to protect well, as far as I can see. Used to repaint cedar greenhouse which came painted with Sikkens and has lasted for about eight years without needing repainting until now.
