Teknos Woodex Solid Opaque Wood Stain is an alkyd-oil-based semi gloss and opaque wood stain for outdoor use. Contains agents that protect the wood against soiling and weathering.

Best Uses

Teknos Woodex Solid Opaque Wood Stain is an ideal product to stain exterior wood leaving the wood grain still visible. 

Teknos Woodex Solid Opaque Wood Stain is formulated for the treatment of new and press-impregnated woodwork and wooden surfaces that have been treated with a solvent-borne wood stain. Not suitable on dispersion-based wood stains. Teknos Woodex Solid Opaque Wood Stain is suitable for use on walls, fences and window frames. For log surfaces we recommend Teknos Woodex transparent wood stains.

Application

To prepare new wooden surfaces, treat the surface as soon as possible. At least the impregnation and priming would be best done in the summer of construction. Remove from the surface all loose matter, dirt and dust. Use Teknos Rensa Façade facade cleaner, when needed. Rinse the surfaces thoroughly with water and allow to dry. Apply one coat of clear Teknos Woodex Base priming oil. Allow to dry for one day. Prime surfaces with 10 - 15 % diluted Teknos Woodex Solid. Allow to dry for 1 - 3 days depending on the weather.

To prepare previously painted or old wooden surfaces, replace wooden parts that are in poor condition. Remove loose matter and "fluffy" wood. The adhesion of an old, thick paint layer to the substrate may have been weakened so much that the paint should be removed even if it seems intact. The old paint layer is removed primarily
by scraping or wire brushing, and possibly by heating the surface with an infra-red heater designed for this purpose. As a secondary means, a paint removing agent or blast cleaning can be used.

Wash dirty and/or mildewed surfaces with Teknos Rensa Façade facade cleaner. Rinse the surfaces thoroughly with water and allow to dry. Apply a coat of Teknos Woodex Base to bare wooden surfaces and prime with 20% diluted Teknos Woodex Solid. Allow to dry for 1 - 3 days depending on the weather.

Reserve a sufficient amount of opaque wood stain in one vessel for each uniform surface. Stir well and apply by brush or spray in 1 - 2 coats. Treat end grain especially carefully. Recommended nozzle size for airless spray is 0.013 - 0.017''.
