Cetol HLSe

Cetol HLSe

Product Description
Sikkens Cetol HLSe is a premium, oil-based, deep-penetrating, low-build translucent timber stain for exterior use. Designed as an essential basecoat for all Cetol topcoats (e.g. Cetol Filter 7 Plus) on all types of bare timber. Alternatively, it is an ideal 1-pot 3-layer system for broad timber surfaces such as decks, cladding and screening. Sikkens Cetol HLSe has superior penetration and adhesion to the surface of the timber and provides long term protection and durability when used before Cetol topcoats.

Application

Ready to use with no need to thin. Stir thoroughly before use. Final colour will depend upon timber type, previous treatment and the number of coats applied. Ensure timber moisture content is below 15%. Do not apply in temperatures below 5℃ and above 35°C, in damp conditions (when relative humidity is above 85%), or if rain or dew is likely before the product has dried. If using more than one can, it is advisable to mix them together in a larger container or finish in a corner before starting the new can to ensure colour consistency. On previously stained timber, touch up bare areas first and allow to dry. Avoid heavy wear and tear on the decking for a few days after application. At temperatures below 10°C and when used internally with limited air circulation, the drying process will be delayed. On correctly prepared surfaces, three coats evenly with a good quality brush along the grain, avoiding overlaps. Allow 24 hours between coats.
