Seal your pine to look like meranti with Woodoc!

You will need
  • Woodoc 30 Exterior Polywax Sealer (Clear)
  • Woodoc 35 Exterior Polywax Sealer (Meranti)
  • Sandpaper (80- and 100-grit)
  • Cloth
  • Paintbrush
  • Steel wool
  • Mineral turpentine

STEP 1

Use the sandpaper to sand the surface smooth.

STEP 2

Make sure the surface is dry and dust-free. 

STEP 3

Apply the first coat of Woodoc 30 to the meranti with a brush; keep applying the product until the surface remains glossy for 10 minutes. Allow it to dry completely. 

STEP 4

Apply the first coat of Woodoc 35 to the pine with a brush; keep applying the product until the surface remains glossy for 10 minutes. Allow it to dry completely. 

STEP 5

Sand lightly with steel wool. Remove the dust with a clean, dry cloth then wipe with a cloth dampened with mineral turpentine. Apply two more coats of Woodoc 30 to the meranti and two more coats of Woodoc 35 to the pine, in this way matching the pine with the meranti. Don’t sand again after the last coat.
