Overview

Owatrol Textrol is a penetrating wood oil finish crafted for exterior softwood and hardwood surfaces, whether horizontal or vertical. Unlike surface films, Textrol saturates the wood, providing protection from within, ensuring it won't peel or flake over time. Textrol will not only enhance the natural beauty of wood but also offer long-lasting protection against moisture, weathering, and UV rays, thanks to its penetrative nature. With a mildew-resistant finish, Textrol ensures your wood surfaces remain pristine even in challenging outdoor environments.

One of the standout features of Textrol is its wet-on-wet application, saving you time as there's no need to wait for coats to dry during application. Maintenance is a simple process with local touch-ups and completely eliminates the need for laborious sanding.

Preparation

New wood surfaces have a hard shiny surface known as mill glaze which prevents maximum penetration and bonding of any finish. To properly prepare the surface for application, and minimise splitting, swelling, cupping and checking caused by exposure to the sun and rain, first treat with Seasonite and allow the wood to weather for 6-12 months before applying Textrol.

Application

Apply the first coat of Textrol and allow it to penetrate into the wood (15-30 minutes). Apply a second application and allow it to penetrate for 15-30 minutes. If required repeat this procedure until the wood is saturated i.e. will accept no more oil. Do not allow Textrol to become touch dry or dry between coats. Once the timber is saturated, brush out or wipe up any excess product that has not penetrated to avoid shiny spots. NOTE: Textrol is not a surface coating, its place is in the wood not on the surface.
