Overview

Water based Barrettine Wood Reviver contains oxalic acid, a biodegradable organic acid found naturally in plants such as rhubarb and spinach. It restores grey, UV-damaged wood back to its original warm tones. Wood Reviver can also rescue wood from surface mould, tannin runs, watermarks, iron, rust and light dirt. This is a low VOC, ready to use reviver, free from chlorine bleach. Its easy to apply and produces results in around 20 minutes, saving the work, mess and dust of heavy sanding.

• Instantly revives greyed and blackened wood
• Ideal to use before Decking Oil or Wood Preserver Treatments
• Brings the original tone of the wood back
• Removes rust stains
• No chlorine bleach and low VOC

Preparation

Wood must be clean and bare before treating.

• Wood Reviver may remove some existing wood finishes, however if surface coatings remain, use Barrettine Paint Panther® or Peelaway® to remove oil, paint, varnish or wax.
• Do not use a pressure washer to clean wood prior to application of Wood Reviver.

Application

Always follow the manufacturer's instructions found on the tin.

• Apply out of direct sunlight, in temperatures between 5-30°C.
• Wet the wood with water before applying the Wood Reviver.
• Using a brush or roller, apply generously to all visible sides of wood or panels, in the direction of the grain to areas 2m2 at a time to stop the wood from drying out.
• If it does dry, repeat the wetting process by spraying with water or wipe with a damp cloth to rehydrate.
• Leave the Wood Reviver to work for 15-30 minutes.
• Rub the surface with a cloth or non-metal brush dampened with water to agitate it. Finally rinse again thoroughly. Repeat the process as necessary.
• Wood restoration and colour change may not be entirely visible until the wood has dried.

Please note: The appearance of the revived wood will vary depending wood type, age and condition. A light sanding may be required to restore a smooth finish.
