WISE PRECAUTIONS

ALWAYS READ STATUTORY CONDITIONS RELATING TO USE BEFORE STARTING ANY
WORK. Ensure good ventilation before applying and after application until the treatment has dried (24-48
hours) NOTE: drying times will be extended in cold weather and if ventilation is restricted. Avoid contact
with skin and eyes, Remove any splashes immediately. Clean up spills immediately to avoid staining with
paint brush cleaner.
In roof areas, felt under tiles must be protected from contact with the fluid. Roof insulation’s must be
removed and only replaced when treated timbers are thoroughly dry. Water storage tanks must be covered.
When treating flooring and joists, boards should be left up for as long as possible to assist ventilation.
Switch off electrical circuits in the area being treated before and for 48 hours after treatment. PVC covered
electrical wiring will not normally be effected, but we recommend wiping any excess from cables wherever
possible.


SURFACE PREPARATION

Ensure that surfaces are clean, dry and free from paint varnish, stain, grease, bark or any other
contaminants. If decay is already present, remove all decayed wood and replace with sound treated timber.
