Product Overview:

Ronseal Total Clear Wood Preserver is a high-quality wood preservative crafted specifically to protect against woodworm, rot, and fungal decay. This preservative, available in a 5-litre container, is designed as a versatile pre-treatment solution suitable for both interior and exterior wood surfaces. Ideal for application on smooth or rough timber, this clear formula effectively penetrates the wood, fortifying it without altering its natural appearance, making it ready for additional finishes like paint or stain.

While coloured wood preservers in the Ronseal range are intended for outdoor applications and provide all-weather colour protection, this clear variant focuses solely on preservation. It does not include waterproofing properties but is highly effective as a base treatment, providing a reliable foundation for indoor and outdoor wood preservation projects.

Product Features:

• Versatile Application: Perfect for rough or smooth timber, this preserver is suitable for use on both interior and exterior wood surfaces.
• Reliable Pre-Treatment: Safeguards wood against woodworm, rot, and fungal decay, forming an ideal base for over painting or staining.
• Effective Penetration: Provides comprehensive protection without altering wood's natural look; ideal for surfaces awaiting finishing treatments.

Before You Start:

• Prepare the Surface: Ensure all wood surfaces are free from any coatings such as paint, varnish, or stain. Surfaces should be clean and dry for optimal absorption.
• Manage Decayed Wood: In cases of decay, remove all affected wood and replace it with sound, treated timber. For extensive decay, cut out and incinerate the compromised wood at least 45 cm beyond the damaged area to contain the spread.

Application Instructions:

• Shake Before Use: Thoroughly shake the container before application to ensure consistent effectiveness.
• Methods of Application: You can apply this preserver by brush, spray, or dipping. For spray application, use a coarse setting and avoid misting.
• End Grain Treatment: Where possible, treat end grains by dipping them for maximum absorption.
• Number of Coats: Apply at least two coats, covering all surfaces, with special attention to the end grain. Allow a full 24 hours between coats.
• Compatibility Note: This preserver is not compatible with Ronseal sprayers. Ensure all tools are compatible with the product for optimal performance.

After the second coat has dried, you can proceed with repairs or glue applications. Avoid contact with materials like bitumen, bitumen felt, mastics, or plastics, as they may react with the preservative.
