Tikkurila Multistop Tannin Blocker

Tikkurila Multistop is a water-based blocking internal wood primer for reducing the discolouration caused by the migration of wood oils, resin and tannin.

Best Uses

Tikkurila Multistop is formulated as a primer and intermediate coat for both untreated and previously painted or varnished (with the exception of certain parquet lacquers), new or old wood surfaces in dry interior premises.

Tikkurila Multistop will prevent discoloring wood extracts and other
yellowing substances such as tar, tannins and wood resins from entering into the top coat. This product is also suitable for the prevention of wood coating discoloration caused by knots.

Application

Ensure the wood is clean and sand free. If necessary, use Tikkurila Presto Rapid Filler to fill any cracks and dents, and sand the filled areas. Remove sanding dust. Patch paint with primer on bare wood surfaces.The adhesion of Multistop to certain parquet lacquers is poor, therefore the parquet lacquer should be completely removed, if Multistop is used over the entire surface.

Stir well before use. Do not thin. Apply a thick coat of Multistop and treat 1-2 times, preferably with a thick nap roller and finish the surface immediately with a synthetic brush. The best insulation result is achieved when the treatment is performed twice.

Remove any excess paint from tools. Wash the tools with water. Tikkurila Pensselipesu (Tool Cleaner) is recommended for removing slightly hardened paint from tools.

After the surface treatment, surfaces must be handled with care for a few weeks, as the product will reach its final hardness and durability under normal conditions after about a month.
