Preparation Ensure that all areas to be sealed are clean, free of dust, mud, and ‘muck’. If necessary, clean the surface thoroughly with clean water and allow to dry. For optimum results ensure that the plywood is clean and dry before application.
Application The Plywood Sealant is applied to the bare edges (including freshly cut edges) of the plywood boards. A thick layer is painted down the edge with a 5mm overlap onto the flat surface (see insert). Ensure that any holes or air pockets are completed covered. This can be done by working the sealant along the edge, back and forth with a paint brush. • For best results use a woodwork stain and varnish brush for an even finish. • Can be applied by roller: recommended a minimum of a medium pile roller sleeve.
Drying Time Touch dry within 2 hours depending on drying conditions and humidity.
Precautions Ensure good ventilation during application and drying. Unprotected persons and animals should be kept away from coated areas for 48 hours or until surfaces are dry. Wear suitable protective clothing (overalls) and synthetic rubber/PVC gloves when using. Do not breathe spray mist, or wear suitable respiratory equipment (e.g., disposable mask). Avoid contact with skin and eyes. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and if necessary, seek medical advice. Avoid contact by mouth; do not swallow. Wash splashes from the skin with plenty of water and detergent. Wash hands and exposed skin before meals and after use.
