Tips

During the application, the application method and amounts specified in the Technical Data Sheet of Hemel Deck Stain-Deck Varnish should be followed.

Since it is not suitable for regional maintenance in large and heavy traffic areas, it requires a complete scraper. In such areas, HEMEL Deck Oil or HEMEL Exotic Oil should be used according to the type of wood.

Since it is a product that makes a film on the surface, it may be necessary to make a complete scraper in maintenance operations. Therefore, it is recommended to be used in areas not exceeding 20-25 m2 and where human traffic is low.

Hemel Deck Stain-Deck Varnish must be applied to all surfaces, including the front and back surfaces of the wooden decks.

It gives better results with a medium-hard floor brush with a curved handle.

Problems and Solutions

Hemel Deck Stain-Deck Varnish is different in tone from the color you like on the color chart.

Causes of the Problem:

• Application of Hemel Deck Stain-Deck Varnish without mixing adequately
• Using more or less than the amount specified in the user manual
• The woods you have applied on are impregnated with Tanalith or Tanatone.
• Products appear in different shades in different wood types

Solution:

• Since the specific gravity of the pigment and the resin that gives color to Hemel Deck Stain-Deck Varnish is different, the pigment sinks to the bottom over time. For this reason, before using the product, it should be mixed very well with the help of a spatula and make sure that there is no undissolved pigment left in the bottom of the box.
• During the application, the amount of product applied to the surface should be checked with a wet film meter from time to time and it should be ensured that the product is applied in the amounts specified in the technical data sheet of the product.
• If you want to see how the product will look on the surface before the application, you can apply in a small area by requesting a product sample from our authorized dealers or us.

Resin flowing from wood after application

Causes of the Problem:

• This situation is a natural process arising from the structure of the wood. Some types of wood, such as cedar, contain dense resin.

Solution:

• To improve the visuality, the parts where the resin flows can be wiped with cellulosic thinner and retouched after the patting sandpaper.
• If resin flow is observed on the surface after paint/varnish application; It should be waited for a while for all the resin in the knots and resin pouches to flow and dry on the surface. Afterward, the dried resin should be removed with a spatula and the resin residue on the surface should be wiped off with cellulosic thinner. If necessary, this area can be retouched after the sanding.
• The best time to clean resin is when it is cold. When this application is made in hot weather, the resin can contaminate the surface.

Brush marks on the surface after application

Causes of the Problem

• The applied brush is not clean
• Not using proper brushes
• Failure to scan (returning to the painted surface and feeding or removing excess paint) during the application.
• Not applying enough product to spread the product on the surface.

Solution:

• To remove the brush marks, the application should be repeated after sanding.

Hemel Deck Stain-Deck Varnish does not dry

Causes of the Problem:

• Too much thinning of Hemel Deck Stain-Deck Varnish
• Applying too much product

After the 1st coat application, the 2nd coat is applied without waiting for complete drying.

• Failure to comply with the application temperature and relative humidity specified in the general instructions of Hemel Deck Stain-Deck Varnish.
• Humidity ratio of the wood is more than 20% during the application
• Not wiping the wood with tannin such as Iroko and chestnut with cellulosic thinner before application.

Solution:

• The operations under the title of the Causes of the Problem must be checked and the conditions causing it must be eliminated.

Peeling and spilling Hemel Deck Stain-Deck Varnish from the surface

Causes of the Problem:

• Water intake from the heads of the wood or from the surface of which no product is applied
• The moisture content of the treated wood during application is more than 20%.
• Failure to sand following the instructions for use.
• If the product is not applied to the surface in a small amount and does not form a sufficient film layer due to not complying with the consumption rates specified in the instructions for use.
• Since heat-treated wood (ThermoWood® etc.) has high absorption, the product should be applied at least 3 layers.

Solution:

• Operations under the title of the Causes of the Problem must be checked and the conditions that cause it must be eliminated.
• Peeling and spilled areas should be completely cleaned and a scraper should be made, if the wood needs maintenance, the necessary maintenance should be done and the maintenance process should be completed by applying the product to these surfaces again.

Causes Of The Problem:

* Lack of adequate polling sanding between layers

* Excessive thinning of Hemel deck Stain-Deck varnish

Solution:

* Operations in the problem causes header should be checked and the conditions that cause it should be eliminated.

* Hemel deck Stain-Deck varnish has just been applied to the surface and if it is a small area, the paint on the surface should be removed with a clean cloth and the surface should be completely cleaned from the new paint.
