How to Use:
Preparation: Before applying GK Wood Restorer™, conduct a small test on a discrete surface to assess compatibility and performance. This precautionary step ensures the suitability of the product for the entire area. Prior to application, dampen the timber without saturating it.
Application: GK Wood Restorer comes ready to use - do not dilute. Generously apply the solution along the wood grain using a brush, spray, or roller, ensuring all exposed sides are covered. Work on 2-meter lengths to prevent product drying. Rehydrate with more product if it begins to dry.
Drying: Allow the product to work for 30 minutes.
Finish: Afterward, vigorously agitate with a stiff, non-metal brush dampened with water. Thoroughly rinse to remove any residue. Repeat the process, if necessary, until the wood appears bright and clean. The treated wood is now ready for sanding and the application of preservative treatments to mitigate further UV or weather damage.
Tips for Optimal Results
Test in an Inconspicuous Area: Before applying the product to the entire surface, test it on a small, inconspicuous area to ensure desired results.
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Apply the product in shaded areas to prevent it from drying too quickly.
Protect Treated Wood: After restoration, consider applying a protective wood sealant such as GK Invisible Wood Sealer or paint to prolong the results.
