Treatex Colour Tone Ultra

Description

Treatex Colour Tone Ultra has been designed to enhance the natural beauty of wood offering a choice of colours to complement your home. Treatex finishes are manufactured on a base of natural sustainable raw materials with the colour tone pigments being entirely natural too.

Suitable for most species of timber in an interior setting, Treatex Colour Tone Ultra is ideal for floors, doors, stairs, worktops, skirting, furniture, table tops, wood turning, wood toys, and instruments to name but a few. Treatex estimate the coverage rate to be approximately 20m² per litre per coat, although the application method and various qualities of the timber may affect this.

NOTE – Clear Hardwax Oil must always be used as the final coat when Natural Hardwax Oil or Colour Tones are applied. Natural can be used as a top coat with Spruce Colour Tone to achieve a pure bright white.

Preparation

Sand the surface to smooth bare wood using 80-120 grit sandpaper. Ensure that any previous finish has been fully removed. Remove dust, dirt and any other contaminates which may lead to uneven absorption of Colour Tones. Make sure the surface to be treated is thoroughly dry. Stir tins and ensure product is at room temperature before use. Enough Colour Tone should be purchased to complete the whole project and when more than one container is required it is advisable to mix them together before use. Various species of timbers will take colours differently, we strongly advise a small trial application prior to starting a project.

Application

One coat of Colour Tone should be brushed or rolled on. A second coat of Colour Tone is usually unnecessary and will only slightly deepen the colour. To ensure an even colour and correct drying, remove excess product from the surface with a lint free cloth (failure to do so will result in extended drying and a potentially patchy finish). Allow to dry – maintaining warmth and ventilation will enable the surface to dry within 3-6 hours. If excess product is not removed from the surface, Colour Tones will not dry properly and may appear patchy. Once dry, seal with two coats of Treatex hard Wax Oil Ultra Clear which is available in Flat Matt, Matt, Satin or Gloss sheen levels. The top coats of Clear Hardwax Oil are applied to prevent the natural pigments in our Colour Tones from wearing.
