How to apply Hybrid Wood Protector on horizontal surfaces (e.g. terraces, exterior furniture), doors and windows

Rubio Monocoat Hybrid Wood Protector is a genuine 'monocoat', suitable for colouring and protecting almost all exterior wood in 1 single layer. The oil protects wooden façades, patios, shutters, portals, garden furniture, etc. from discolouration and weathering. The easy application and maintenance makes this oil an exceptionally user-friendly product.

Instructions to apply Hybrid Wood Protector

Step 1: Remove all residues of old applications (if necessary)

• Remove all residues of old application by sanding the surface scratch-free (end with a screening net 80 or 120). With new wood it is sufficient to just clean the surface with Exterior Wood Cleaner (see next step).

Step 2: Clean the surface with Exterior Wood Cleaner and let it dry

• Dampen the surface with clear water. Use a garden hose.
• Apply some Exterior Wood Cleaner.
  • Tip: use gloves when using this product. Also be careful the product doesn't get in the eyes.
• Scrub the treated area with a nylon scrubbing brush in the lengthwise direction of the wood. This will cause the product to foam. 
• Rinse thoroughly with clear water until all the foam has disappeared.
• Allow the surface to dry thoroughly (until there appears to be uniform drying and it is dry to the touch).

Step 3: Apply Hybrid Wood Protector

• Stir the oil thoroughly before use
• Add 10% Accelerator to the oil and mix well ( measure the quantity precisely!) 
  Attention, the mixture of A and B can only be used during 4-6 hours. So be careful and only mix the amount you'll need in that timeframe.
• Apply a layer of Hybrid Wood Protector with a flat paint brush ( e.g. Brush Standard 60 or Brush Standard 220).
  • Tip: for terraces you can also use a polishing machine with a beige 16 inch Rubio Monocoat Pad. Work in zones of 5-10 m² ( to wipe off the excess oil - see step 5 - use a white 16 inch Rubio Monocoat Pad).

Step 4: Leave to react

• Leave to react for 10 minutes and then smooth out the surface again with the same brush (without applying new product).

Step 5: Wipe off excess product

• After 5 minutes wipe off traces of excess product with a piece of cloth.

Step 6: Let dry for 24 hours

• Let dry for about 24 hours. Complete curing takes place after 7 days.

- To determine the correct colour, always do a small test first with one of our 20 ml sample bottles on identical sanded and prepared wood.

- Good preparation is crucial for good protection. Always prepare the wood with Exterior Wood Cleaner, even though the wood is new.

- Stir the product well before application. When using several containers at one site, it is recommended to mix them for an even result.

- Never apply in direct sunlight and at temperatures under 10°C (temperature must stay above 10°C at least until 12 hours after application). Only work when weather conditions are dry.

- Only use our maintenance and cleaning products.
