How to prepare your timber for Feast Watson Spar Marine.

Let's treat your exterior timber.

How to prepare new timber:

  1. Allow new timber to adapt and adjust to the climate in its final position for 4-6 weeks.

  2. Prepare exterior timber for coating with Feast Watson Woodprep. Sand to a smooth surface.

  3. Remember to remove all sanding dust before coating.

How to prepare weathered timber:

  1. Prepare your exterior weathered or grey timber by cleaning thoroughly with Feast Watson Woodprep.

  2. Sand to a smooth surface and remove all sanding dust before coating.

How to prepare previously coated timber:

How to apply Feast Watson Spar Marine:

Okay, let's do this! Follow these steps on how to clear coat using Spar Marine:

  1. Thoroughly stir Spar Marine Varnish before and during application with a flat blade stirrer. Take care not to introduce bubbles!

  2. Using a brush, roller or spray, apply Spar Marine Varnish. Spray: If using a spray, the Spar Marine Varnish may be thinned by using 10% mineral turpentine. Roller: If using a roller, use a short nap (5mm) mohair roller. Ensure edges and end grain are fully coated.

  3. Make sure to apply minimum three coats. Four or more coats may be applied for extra durability to withstand extreme exposure, or when the coating has been thinned.

  4. Allow 12 hours drying time between coats. Sand lightly between coats.

  5. The final coat should be applied within 30 hours of the previous coat to ensure timber is protected. Note: Do NOT apply in temperatures under 10 C or above 35 C or when rain or heavy dew is expected within the coating dry time.

How to maintain your timber after using Feast Watson Spar Marine:

  1. As always, regularly monitor the surface for signs of colour loss or surface defects.

  2. Reapply Spar Marine as the timber changes colour or when water repellency is lost due to weathering.
