- Optimum processing conditions at +15°C to +25°C, relative humidity 40% to 75%, material temperature +15°C to +25°C
- Do not apply to surfaces exposed to hot or strong sunlight, as the applied coating may dry too quickly. Do not apply if rain is expected within 3 hours of application.
- If in doubt, create a test area to determine compatibility, adhesion and appearance. The results may vary depending on the type of wood, especially with oily, colour- intensive and resinous woods.
- Visual wood discolorations due to moisture exposure (e.g. mildew stains, run-ins and blue stain) are better covered by using pigmented variants.
- Shake the contents well.
- Transfer material to a LOBA varnish bucket before applying.
- Avoid drops falling on the surface, smooth out any drops directly with a brush.
- Observe general and, if necessary, product-specific occupational health and safety regulations. Further information can be found in the GISCODE-related operating instructions which are available under www.wingis-online.de.
