.DESCRIPTION AND USES
.
Wolman
®
EHT™ Exotic Hardwood Treatment is a premium
coating treatment specifically designed for difficult-to-treat,
very dense exotic hardwoods. It provides unsurpassed UV
protection in a pigmented finish that complements the wood’s
original color. Wolman EHT can be used on Mahogany, Ipe´ and
other tropical hardwoods to provide a translucent, natural wood
color that helps block premature graying or silvering from UV
exposure. Made with UV blocking pigment and boosted by a
concentrated UV absorber, EHT retains its color significantly
longer than traditional oil finishes made for hardwood. EHT
incorporates a mildewcide that resists mildew growth on the
coating film.
WOOD TYPES: Use on all species of exotic hardwoods,
including Mahogany, Ipe´, Ironwood
®,
Pau Lope
®
, Teak and
others. May also be used on pressure-treated lumber, Cedar,
Redwood, and other North American hardwoods. Use to beautify
and protect decks, porches, boat docks, boardwalks, outdoor
furniture & decor, spa cabinets, gazebos, arbors & trellises and
more.

..PRODUCT APPLICATION(cont.) .
Perform Splash Test
Regardless of whether wood is newly installed or pre-existing, it
is important to determine if there is a surface barrier present
which would prevent the proper penetration or adhesion of a
new coating. To conduct a Splash Test, sprinkle several handfuls
of water on a few distinct areas of the surface. If the water
absorbs rapidly, the surface is ready to be coated. If the water
beads, puddles or is not absorbed, an internal or external barrier
exists, and must be eliminated before coating can begin.
Wood Condition
Uncoated, New Wood
To open wood pores before coating, prepared exotic hardwood
with Wolman Deck &Fence Brightener liquid concentrate.
Uncoated, Weathered Wood
Before coating, weathered wood must be thoroughly cleaned to
remove ground in dirt, mildew, mold and algae stains, black
tannin stains, gray or silver, UV-damaged wood fibers and any
other surface contaminants. To clean exotic hardwood, use Deck
& Fence Brightener liquid concentrate.
Previously Coated, Weathered Wood
Previous coatings should be removed before application of this
product. If coated with a clear water sealer, Wolman Deck &
Fence Brightener liquid concentrate should be used to restore
the surface and remove residual coating / water repellency. If a
pigmented oil or latex coating exists, use Wolman DeckStrip
®
Stain & Finish Remover to strip away coating. (After stripping,
exotic hardwoods may exhibit black tannin stains on the surface,
giving wood an overall darkened appearance. If this occurs, use
Wolman Deck & Fence Brightener liquid concentrate according
to label directions to remove tannin stains.)
Perform Splash Test
Once wood is dry to touch, sprinkle several handfuls of
water on a few distinct areas of the surface. If the water
spreads and begins to dry within 20 minutes, the surface
is ready to be coated. If the water beads, puddles or does
not dissipate and begin to dry within this timeframe, reapply
surface prep product and repeat Splash Test.
PRODUCT APPLICATION
APPLY ONLY ONE (1) COAT. DO NOT OVER-APPLY. DO
NOT PUDDLE. Clean overspray, drips or splatters with water as
soon as possible.
