MARINE PENETROL FOR VARNISHING AND WOOD PROTECTION
MARINE PENETROL MAKES IT EASY TO GET THE PERFECT VARNISH JOB
When varnish starts to ‘pull’
or set too quickly resulting in brush marks, add Marine Penetrol
until the varnish flows easily. Let your brush be the guide. You
cannot add too much Marine Penetrol. You will achieve a mirror finish
when spraying marine enamel fortified with Marine Penetrol.
To prevent moisture attack caused by a damaged varnish film, apply
2 coats or more of Marine Penetrol to the bare wood or apply a mixture
of equal amounts of varnish and Marine Penetrol. This will insure
deep penetration of the coating and prevent water creeping under
the varnish causing it to lift in case of damage.
 To
apply new varnish over an old but sound surface apply one coat of
Marine Penetrol, allow to dry for 24 hours and then varnish. There
is no need to sand as Marine Penetrol will bond the new varnish
to the old. A coat of Marine Penetrol will also bond new paint to
sound old surfaces without sanding.
Marine
Penetrol will give added great flexibility to your varnish and improve
resistance against peeling and cracking. Varnish treated with Marine
Penetrol will let air bubbles brush out quicker. Brush and lap marks
will be a thing of the past.
MARINE PENETROL
PROTECTS WOOD AGAINST MOISTURE ATTACK
Marine Penetrol
seals and protects bare wood from water ingress. It penetrates deep
into the surface (three times more than water) and forms a sound
barrier against moisture. Where mould is a problem, add a few drops
of VC175 Tropical Mould Killer for long term prevention. (see Mould
Action Wash and VC175 Mould Killer). Always saturate the end grain
of wood for extra protection.
HOW DOES MARINE PENETROL PROTECT WOOD?
Marine Penetrol protects wood from the inside out. Marine Penetrol
imitates nature by penetrating deep into the wood and protecting
it from the inside, just like it was protected by its own oils and
resins when it was still a tree. Once the tree is felled the wood
starts drying and
unless the oils are replenished, decay and rot are the final outcome.
Penetrolled wood is protected from dry rot.
Traditionally
a surface coating is supposed to offer protection. However, even
a small scratch in the surface lets moisture enter and creep under
the coating causing it to lift and blister. Not so with Marine Penetrol
protected wood. Coating damage is easily repaired. Rot and decay
is prevented.
Penetrol protects wood as nature does the tree
WHY MARINE PENETROL OUTPERFORMS MINERAL
TURPENTINE, WHITE SPIRITS AND OTHER THINNERS
1.
Thinners only thin paint temporarily before evaporating as the paint
film dries. Your money literally disappears into thin air.
2. When
you use Marine Penetrol, the oil is built into the paint. It doesn’t
evaporate. Every dollar goes to make more paint. The result is a
stronger, even paint film and greater coverage
3. In hot, windy weather paint and varnish dry quicker than desired
for good workability. The brush starts to drag, leaving brush and
lap marks. With Marine
Penetrol brushing is easy in temperatures from -20° to +40°
C, the paint flowing smoothly like it should. The result: no brush
or lap marks but an even, strong and durable film.
When conventional
thinners leave the paint film, the coating becomes porous, less
elastic and looses gloss. With Marine Penetrol in the paint, the
film closes completely. Dirt cannot enter and the life of the coating
is prolonged, with improved gloss, fewer imperfections and greater
elasticity.
A piece of plastic
bag coated with aluminium paint fortified with Marine Penetrol can
be stretched without the paint cracking. Marine Penetrol has made
the paint elastic.
