Tips

Hemel Pro Aqua HD Colorant wood colorant application methods and quantities specified in the Technical Data Sheet must be followed when applying.

Hemel Pro Aqua HD Colorant wood colorant, when applied with a brush, the colorant must be combed through the veins of the wood on the surface with the brush to achieve a homogeneous appearance and avoid the risk of trace appearance. 2-3% drinking water can be added on large surfaces and in extremely hot weather, to delay drying and prevent the formation of coat marks.

For long-term protection and a decorative appearance, it is recommended to apply VA 1030 / VA 1130 / TX 9180 / TX 9030 varnish on it after the color dries.

In exterior applications, the design of wooden areas in such a way that water does not accumulate on the surface where it flows significantly, increases the service life of the product.

If it is desired to get maximum service life from exterior applications, it is recommended to apply the wood colorant to the back parts of the woods as well. This way, the moisture that the wood can receive from the facade and construction will be kept to a minimum level, and the negative effects on the wood will be minimized.

In order to obtain a homogeneous appearance, sanding and painting should always be done in the direction of the veins of the wood.

Coloring should always be started from the top point of the wood and applied in areas of 3-5 square meters. If the application is to be interrupted during the application, it should be left in the joints of the woods or the parts of the decking and facade edge. Otherwise, it will ride layer by layer and have visually bad results. Always apply from the last applied part to the un-colored area, and then go back to the colored part again to get the excess part of the color.
