For very porous or heavily weathered wood, a second, lighter coat may be applied once the first is completely dry, although the product is designed for effective one-coat coverage. Ensure even application and avoid overspreading which can lead to thin spots.

Check the weather conditions. Drying time can be significantly extended by low temperatures, high humidity, or if rain is expected. Ensure adequate ventilation if working in a partially enclosed space. Avoid applying the product too thickly, as excessive coats will slow down the drying process considerably.

The final color can vary depending on the original color and porosity of the timber, as well as how much existing treatment is on the wood.

Stirring the product well before and during use is also crucial for consistent color.
