Description
Siria Legno Antico is a strong aging reagent for interior wood
A reactive agent that imparts a basic aging effect to artifacts. The color results vary depending on the type of wood and the different dilutions of the product.
SIRIA LEGNO ANTICO is an alkaline solution that gives a basic aging effect to the artefacts, in anticipation of the subsequent impregnating treatment. Thanks to its specificity, combined with other products, it produces unique and original aesthetic results. The visual result is influenced both by the type of wood and its origin.
Applied pure on larch (after 12/24 hours) it produces an aging effect, while on oak (after 12/24 hours) it gives a "marc" mordancy. Perfect for essences such as oak, chestnut, elm, larch, etc...
Advantages
- It gives a deep aging action to the wood.
- It is miscible in water in any proportion to obtain different shades.
- It can be overlapped with other (aging) reagents for unique and original results.
- Highlights the knots in the wood.
- Application method that highlights the differences between the various strips.
Directions
Shake well before use. Operate at temperatures between +10°C and +30°C. Avoid applying the product on very hot surfaces. It is recommended to carry out the application industrially with a roller or spray, although it is possible to use it on already laid floors, as long as they are laid continuously. For optimal results, we recommend applying two coats of SIRIA LEGNO ANTICO at 40% + 60% water.
Prepare a solution in the tray and apply the product to the floor in the direction of the grain, with a brush, covering one meter at a time evenly and carefully. After the first application, smooth the surface with Scotch Brite or fine mesh if necessary.
After 12/24 hours, smooth the surface with 120/400 grit sandpaper or with green/black or spp scotch brite. Vacuum the floor and proceed with the protective oil treatment on a clean and dry surface.
PROTECT any sensitive surfaces from contact with the product.
ATTENTION: Avoid pouring SIRIA LEGNO ANTICO directly onto the wood, as any drops or overlaps can cause obvious stains.
BEFORE PROCEEDING ON THE ENTIRE SURFACE, ALWAYS CARRY OUT TESTS ON AT LEAST 2/3 DIFFERENT STRIPS
