Application

On new wood:

1. Prepare the surface to achieve the desired result (planed, sanded, wire brushed, etc.).
2. Remove sanding dust from the surface and wipe it dry.
3. Stir Rubio WoodCream well before applying it (undiluted).
4. Apply carefully and evenly to the vertical surface with a block brush suitable for water-beading products. Work with the grain in sections approximately 3 to 4 boards wide. It's best to keep a wet edge. In one motion, use an application brush to perform a final pass, ensuring the WoodCream application is even and consistent.
5. If a more opaque result is required, you can apply a second layer after at least 3 hours. Spread the product with the block brush on the first layer in one smooth movement and go over it several times.

Creating an aged/transparent effect on new wood:

1. Prepare the surface to achieve the desired result (planed, sanded, wire brushed, etc.).
2. Remove sanding dust from the surface and wipe it dry.
3. Stir Rubio WoodCream well and dilute it with Rubio WoodCream Softener to create a more transparent effect (proportion: max 1:1).
4. Apply carefully and evenly to the vertical surface with a block brush suitable for water-beading products. Work with the grain in sections approximately 3 to 4 boards wide. It's best to keep a wet edge. In one motion, use an application brush to perform a final pass, ensuring the WoodCream application is even and consistent.

In case of renovation/refreshing Rubio WoodCream:

1. Clean the surface using water at low pressure and a soft brush; there is no need for sanding.
2. Stir Rubio WoodCream well and dilute it with Rubio WoodCream Softener in a ratio from 9 parts Rubio WoodCream and 1 part Rubio WoodCream Softener. You can adjust this ratio to a maximum of 1 part Rubio WoodCream and 1 part Rubio WoodCream Softener to achieve the desired result.
3. Apply carefully and evenly to the vertical surface with a block brush suitable for water-beading products. Work with the grain in sections approximately 3 to 4 boards wide. It's best to keep a wet edge. In one motion, use an application brush to perform a final pass, ensuring the WoodCream application is even and consistent.

In case of renovation on older non-Rubio products:

1. In case of extremely soiled and oily wood or mildew stains, clean the wood with a mixture of 10% Rubio Monocoat Exterior Wood Cleaner and water. Thoroughly rinse the wood with water after using Rubio Monocoat Exterior Wood Cleaner and before application.
2. Remove all loose coatings or wood fibers (sanding, steel, or brass brush).
3. Remove sanding dust from the surface and wipe it dry.
4. Stir Rubio WoodCream well before applying it (undiluted), carefully and evenly, to the vertical surface with a block brush suitable for water-beading products. Work with the grain in sections approximately 3 to 4 boards wide. It's best to keep a wet edge. In one motion, use an application brush to perform a final pass, ensuring the WoodCream application is even and consistent.
5. Apply a second layer to prevent gloss differences between raw wood and patches where the old coating was still present.

Maintenance Information

In general, we recommend a yearly visual check-up just after the winter season. Please check for the following three points:

1. Dirt and green deposits: clean with low-pressure water and a soft brush.
2. Fading out of colors.
3. Diminishing water-beading effect.

If necessary (concerning points 2 and 3), apply a maintenance coat according to the instructions. The frequency of maintenance depends on the weather conditions:

• In normal weather conditions: every 5 years.
• In extreme weather conditions: every 3 years.
• In ideal circumstances, this can take significantly longer, up to 10 years.

Normal climates: When the color fades, apply a maintenance coat of Rubio WoodCream with Rubio WoodCream Softener in a ratio from 9 parts Rubio WoodCream and 1 part Rubio WoodCream Softener to a maximum of 1 part Rubio WoodCream and 1 part Rubio WoodCream Softener to achieve the desired result. Consult the technical data sheet for more information.

The frequency of maintenance depends on exposure, geographical situation, solar orientation of the treated wood, wood type, and desired shade. Waterfront, seaside, piling, wetland, and marshland scenarios sometimes require more frequent maintenance.

Maintenance Instructions:

1. Clean the wood with a mixture of 10% Rubio Monocoat Exterior Wood Cleaner and water. After using Rubio Monocoat Exterior Wood Cleaner, clean the surface using water at low pressure and a soft brush; there is no need for sanding. Consult the accompanying technical data sheet before use.
2. Stir Rubio WoodCream well and dilute it with Rubio WoodCream Softener in a ratio from 9 parts Rubio WoodCream and 1 part Rubio WoodCream Softener to a maximum of 1 part Rubio WoodCream and 1 part Rubio WoodCream Softener to achieve the desired result.
3. Apply carefully and evenly to the vertical surface with a block brush suitable for water-beading products. Work with the grain in sections approximately 3 to 4 boards wide. It's best to keep a wet edge. In one motion, use an application brush to perform a final pass, ensuring the WoodCream application is even and consistent.
