Directions for Use

Preparation :Simply add the concentrated dry powder contents of this package to water at a ratio of 20 g to 1 Imp gallon or 100 grams to 5 Imp gallons of water, and stir thoroughly.

Some particles may not dissolve completely, and this is normal. It will not affect the efficiency of the product. Stir occasionally during use to maintain its proper effectiveness. If using a sprayer, mix and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Stir well, and strain before putting the product into sprayer.

Application : Apply to bare, untreated or pressure treated wood. Apply solution with a brush, roller, sprayer, or by dipping. If using a sprayer, be sure to strain the solution before pouring into sprayer. Ensure that all wood surfaces have been completely covered by the product, especially end grains, fresh cuts, and open cracks.

Some types of wood surfaces will show no immediate visible change in colour. This is completely normal. After exposure to sun and rain the treatment will react with the wood and gradually change colour to a rich silvery patina.

Caution : Wood treated with LifeTime® is harmless to people, soil, plants, water and gardens. However, the dry powder concentrate is acidic and should be handled with care. Avoid inhalation and contact with eyes.

GREAT PRODUCT

TONY PIETRONIRO · Oct 23, 2022

We used this product on an outdoor Red Western Cedar pergola. It began showing the greying results we were looking for within 2 hours. In 12 hours the wood had greyed more, was dry and ready to handle. The people at Valhalco returned our calls within 24 hours, were helpful and pleasant. Also, the listing on the Ardec site , which named different woods, and their reaction to the product was helpful. Lastly, the product comes in a granular format. You mix what you need with water. No bad odour. Simple. What you don't use immediately can be kept in a container and use the next day. The unused grains can be stored for future use without concern for it spoiling. We are looking forward to the grey darkening even more, as it weathers.
