IMPORTANT NOTES
Exterior timbers coated with clear Cutek® CD50 will silver with age. If this silvering is undesirable then it is important that a suitable colourtone is obtained and mixed with clear Cutek® CD50 to maintain the natural timber character and colour and retain the 'freshly oiled look'.
When selecting from the range of colour-tones allow for the timber colour to naturally lighten during the first three to eight months after application, as natural weathering and leaching occurs. Retention of colour is more durable on rusticated, or band sawn timbers, and may be maximised by including the colourtone in all applications of Cutek® CD50.
While coloutoned CUTEK™ CD50 is a finish that enhances the natural character and beauty of wood, it is important to note that colourtones are only designed to intensify the natural colour characteristics of the timber species being coated. Therefore it is important to select a colourtone appropriate to the natural colour of the timber species being coated.
If colour-toned Cutek® CD50 has faded over time, wash timbers with SARA Clean and apply a single coat of colourtoned Cutek® CD50 to restore the original look of the protected timber.
Please note that the natural colour of timbers can vary significantly. Please contact Chemisys if you require custom manufactured colourtones, or free test-pots to determine the suitability of your colour selection.
