Owatrol D1:
Application
DO NOT THIN. USE AS IS. The secret of DEKS OLJE® D.1’s success lies in its saturation of the wood to bring about an even ”matt sheen” finish when dry.
Start by applying DEKS OLJE® D.1 to an area that can be treated in about 15 minutes.
As soon as the 1st application has penetrated (normally 15-30 minutes), apply a 2nd application.
Continue applying DEKS OLJE® D.1 “wet on wet” until a uniform, overall saturation of the wood is achieved. The number of applications needed depends on the wood.
DO NOT allow DEKS OLJE® D.1 to become dry or touch dry between applications.
Leave final application 30 minutes, then wipe over the surface to remove excess and puddled material with a rag soaked in DEKS OLJE® D.1 and rung out so that it is damp to the touch. If necessary occasionally ring out the cloth to keep it damp.
It is important that as much DEKS OLJE® D.1 as possible is applied on the first day.
DEKS OLJE® D.1 must be kept “active”, this is done by the “wet on wet” applications and the continual brushing over of the area, which assists and helps achieve maximum penetration.
DEKS OLJE® D.1 has high penetration; its place is in the wood and not as a surface coating.
Allow 3 days for DEKS OLJE® D.1 to set-up and dry, before putting the boat in service or continuing with DEKS OLJE® D.2*.
Temperature is of very little importance when applying DEKS OLJE® D.1.
Coverage
Initial: 1 to 4 m² per litre.
Maintenance: 8 to 12 m² per litre.
Actual coverage will vary depending on application method, type, texture and porosity of the wood.
Maintenance
Regular washing with NET-TROL®* will help to maintain the appearance of DEKS OLJE® D.1.
DEKS OLJE® D.1 will gradually lighten over time due to exposure to the sun and UV rays. When the wood has lightened to a light grey colour, it is time for a maintenance application.
Clean surface with NET-TROL®*.
Apply DEKS OLJE® D.1 until wood is saturated and the finish restored, usually 1 or 2 applications will be sufficient.
