AgriWood Application Manual

Step 1: Surface preparation

For best results, due to the depth AgriWood can penetrate, ensure the wood surface is dry and clean.

Use a hand-pump, Hudson can type sprayer for even, soaking, application.
Spray back and forth over the same area a minimum 4 times, overlapping as you move up to the adjoining dry area.
For vertical surfaces, apply from the bottom up.
For horizontal surfaces, apply from the low point, i.e. near a drain) up to the high point.
Apply until the surface stays wet for 5 to 10 seconds.
Spread any puddles remaining after 30 seconds with a mop or squeegee.

Any excess AgriWood not spread out before it dries will form a 200 mesh silicate flour (talcum powder consistency).
It is easier to hose off the surface treated before the surface air dries.
This rinse won't affect the treatment as the gels formed in 15-20 seconds are inside the wood cells, not on the surface.

Coverage depends on the porosity of the wood, which usually means the tightness or closeness of the grains in the wood.
Wide grained wood absorbs more product than tight grained wood.
Expect 100 to 200 square feet per gallon with the average about 150 square feet per gallon.

The gels formed inside the individual wood cells up to the 1/4" depth require a minimum 72 hours to cure.
These gels hydrate into non-soluble silicate/glass crystals in the wood cells.
The resins will be extruded out of the wood cells by the gels forming when AgriWood reacts with the tannic acids.
These resins when pushed to the surface may increase the color and brightness of the wood surface.
If you like these results, apply a UVA and UVB reflective clear coat once AgriWood has cured for at least 72 hours.
The AgriWood treated surface, while wet, can be rained on, walked on, even animals can lick it without harm.

AgriWood contains zero VOCs - safe for environment, animals, and plants.
While safety goggles aren't required, rubber gloves are recommended to prevent skin irritation from silicate/glass crystals.
