Exotic Hardwood Applications
Tropical rain forest produce exotic types of wood classified as hardwoods: mahogany, ipe, teak and others. These woods exhibit a dense cell structure which may reduce the ability of a coating to penetrate the wood surface
Natural oils that exist in some species can migrate to the surface and may affect the adhesion of the wood coating.
HINT: To ensure the best coating performance on these oily woods, wipe the surface with acetone to remove excess oils immediately prior to applying one of the hardwood systems.
NOTE: Do not use Cetol DEK Base on the above described hardwoods. Use a 3 coat system of Cetol DEK only.
