Due to its flexibility COELAN? will expand and contract along with changes in the wood due to moisture, heat, and mechanical stress. And; leaks are usually stopped. In addition; COELAN? is extremely resistant to UV and withstands damage due to abrasion and foot traffic. In fact, COELAN? contains re-growth properties which allow the coating to automatically mend minor damage due to scuffing and abrasion.

COELAN? is a liquid one component polyurethane coating that remains permanently flexible. The hardening component is moisture in the air. Since it is a single component product, it is easy to apply. See similar questions...

We recommend painters using alkyd resin painting mediums wait three months before varnishing. Painters using an oil and damar mix in their painting mediums should wait six months. But, if an artist has a painting that is only dry on the surface and that painting is sold, we recommend the artist varnish only with Gamvar Picture Varnish. For this purpose, thin Gamvar with approximately 20% Gamsol or other high quality Odorless Mineral Spirits (OMS) to make a very light coating. See similar questions...

COELAN? is far less slippery than ordinary varnish due to it's "rubbery" texture. Like most surfaces when wet, a risk of slipping always exists. There is a very effective anti-slip application possible using COELAN?'s glass beads along with the optional use of the ANTI-SLIP pre-punched tape. No, the COELAN? coating has a micro porous structure which allows the transfer of moisture or condensation between the wood and the environment. See similar questions...

Use a heat gun to soften the coating and then lift with a wide putty knife. For localized areas; cut out damaged, area including sufficient boundary, with sharp utility knife. Re-sand, re-prime and build up several layers of coating to ensure minimum of 1.0 mm thickness and smooth transition onto adjacent existing coating. copy; 2005 PREMAPRO LLC. All Rights Reserved.

Yes, a matte finish can be applied on top of the last coating. It should be applied thinly as otherwise the matte effect will not come out. It is not recommended for decks or floorboards as it is more slippery than the gloss finish. This is due to the microscopic sized glass particles which create the overall matte effect.

Unopened, at least 12 months. Opened tins are best used the same day or very shortly thereafter due to the effects of humidity and heat. Some thinning may be required. Careful calculation of product requirements will help you to order appropriate sized containers. It is also a good idea to order several smaller sized tins for future touch up. Every shipment of Coelan Marine Coating Products is given a rigid quality control check prior to leaving the factory. See similar questions...

Between 5 and 30 degrees centigrade. No direct sun on surface! Use in constant or descending temperature. Temperature itself is not the prime concern. Relative air humidity (moisture) is more influential. High humidity = fast drying, (+/- 2 hours), low humidity = slow drying (+/- 6 ? 12 hours). Use of COELAN Retardation Agent may be required.

Don't varnish WoodBlocX. Water will get under the varnish and turn it black within a year. Unless you want to treat it like a boat and varnish it every year! Do paint WoodBlocX with any exterior wood paint if you want it coloured, or just leave it natural. The natural green colour will last for several years before fading to a grey. You can always paint it later when this occurs. See similar questions...
