FAQs

How long does Bartoline Creocote last?

The longevity of the treatment depends on weather exposure, but typically provides several years of protection. Reapplication may be required every few years.

Can I apply Bartoline Creocote over existing treatments?

Remove any loose or flaking coatings first. It's often best to remove existing treatments completely for optimal penetration and adhesion.

Is it safe for use around plants?

Avoid direct contact with plants. Cover or protect plants near the treated area.

What is the coverage of a 4-liter container?

Coverage varies based on wood type and application method, but typically covers around 5-8 square meters per liter.

Can I use this product on decking?

While suitable for exterior wood, consider a product specifically designed for decking, as this product's finish may be too dark.

How should I dispose of leftover product?

Dispose of any unused product and empty containers in accordance with local regulations.

What safety precautions should I take?

Wear appropriate protective gear, including gloves and eye protection. Ensure adequate ventilation during application. Avoid inhaling vapors and keep away from open flames and sources of ignition.

Troubleshooting

Uneven application or color

Ensure thorough mixing before use and apply the treatment evenly, following the grain of the wood. Apply a second coat if necessary to achieve a uniform appearance.

Slow drying time

Ensure the wood is completely dry before application. Provide adequate ventilation during the drying process. Avoid applying the treatment in damp or humid conditions.

Staining on surrounding areas

Protect surrounding surfaces with drop cloths or masking tape. Clean up spills immediately with a suitable solvent.
