*Any
surface exposed by drilling or cutting must be retreated with a cut end
preservative (available from Glenavon in 2.5 and 5 litre containers).
Failure to retreat will reduce the effectiveness of the preservative.
*It is recommended that the re-preserved ends are not put in the ground
or in direct contact with water.
*Rip-sawing, thicknessing and planing are not permitted unless the timber
is subsequently re-treated to the original specification.
*Preserved timber can be painted or stained once dry.
*Preserved timber, once dry, can be glued with most commonly used adhesives.
*When working with preserved timber, it is important that you use the
right fixings to ensure the long-term future of your outdoor project.
Use only hot-dipped galvanised, stainless steel or other approved Osmose
fixings. Do not use Naturewood products in direct contact with aluminium.
*Once fully dry, treated timber may be regarded as untreated for COSHH
(Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 1994) purposes.
