Surface Preparations

Newbuilding / Major Refurbishment
Ensure the wood is clean and dry prior to application. For new wood, it is recommended that the first coat is thinned 50% with GTA004 for maximum penetration into the wood.

Repair / OBM
Ensure the wood is clean and dry prior to application. Interlac 678 may be applied directly over aged Interlac 678 following thorough fresh water washing and degreasing, provided the coating to be overcoated is in an intact and tightly adherent condition. Loose or flaking coatings should be removed back to a firm edge and Interlac 678 or an appropriate primer should be used to repair the area before application of the full coat.

Priming Bare Wood 
The addition of GTA004 may be required for the application of the first coat to new wood, 50% maximum by volume.
