General Application Tips

Silkwood wood sealers / Wood Treatments should be applied in accordance as per the product requirement.

​
The surface of the wood must be dry, clean and free of old products, etc.
Prior to applying the first coat of Silkwood, always ensure that the product has been sufficiently stirred as some in-can settling of the pigmentation can occur.

​
The first coat should be allowed to dry for at least 24 hours before re-applying. When applying the Silkwood , it should be applied thinly and worked into the wood, applying too thickly will result in a an extremely extended drying period.

​
It is recommended that a third coat be applied for maximum protection. South African climatic extremes will require periodic maintenance to maximize protection.

​
Maintenance should be done when wood surface appears faded and dry.
It should not be necessary to sand the surface when applying maintenance coats the surface is only moderately dirty use a green pot scouring pad to lightly rub the surface down.

​
If another type of wood sealer has been previously applied to the wooden surface, it is recommended that the old product must be sanded down before applying Silkwood.

​
The coverage is approximately 10-12 M2 per litre, per coat, depending on the material.

​
Brushes and rollers should be cleaned with either turpentine or white spirits after using wood coating. Dilution of the products is not recommended.

What’s The Difference Between a Oil & A Stain?

The difference is within the level of the finished product. A oil is deep penetrating which soaks into the wood giving it ultimate protection, nourishment, and durability. A stain makes the finished product look richer in colour, on the end product.

What’s the difference between a Varnish & a Wax?

A wax makes the finished product look good, with you having to tirelessly keep maintaining the product with effort each time. A varnish is merely a top coat added to the wood, without the protection or seal.

Silkwood Fact

Most products on the market, that claim to use Oil within there products only use raw linseed oil as a base, without any other raw materials or properties. At Silkwood we only use the finest raw materials not only to give you that immaculate look, finish & glow, but our products actually deep penetrate the wood giving you protection making the wood last longer, and more durable sustaining that longevity that you can’t get from other products on the market.

Be careful of using just varnish on your products, as it’s merely just a top coat without any protection or durability.
