Description
Sansin SDF Natural Top Coat
Sansin SDF Top Coat is a durable finish coat to apply over an SDF base coat, designed for substrates such as siding, logs, and lumber. Its high solids content creates a satin finish that is extremely resistant to moisture and aging.
Highly wear-resistant, SDF Top Coat does not fade over time and enhances UV protection as well as the beauty of your Sansin SDF finishes. Thanks to its high solids content, it improves the look of your base coat with superbly saturated color and a rich finish. To learn more, consult a Sansin distributor or Customer Service representative.
SDF performs particularly well on porous or rough wood surfaces, such as hemlock, for example, or other woods with a rough finish.

How to apply:
Sansin SDF siding stain is easy to apply: simply saturate the surface by applying a generous coat (with a brush or by spraying) and check to remove any puddles or runs with a brush. Very important: do not apply during the hottest part of the day or in direct sunlight (do not apply if the wood is hot to the touch). Do not apply on a rainy day and/or during cold nights; the product requires 24 hours of drying after application. Be sure to mix the product well before and during application to ensure uniform color.
Maintenance:
Vertical surfaces require regular maintenance. Periodically, wash your wood with Sansin multi-wash biodegradable cleaner to remove dust, dirt, and stains.
When the finish begins to look worn (discoloration or erosion), it is time to consider applying a maintenance coat. Normally, a maintenance coat will be required at a frequency varying from 1 to 4 years. The frequency of maintenance will depend on the quality of preparation, application, application conditions, and exposure to wear factors and weather. Maintaining your wood regularly will allow it to retain its color long-term, have better dimensional stability, and maintain its water-repellent power.
If discoloration or erosion is evident, wash your wood with a high-pressure washer and/or use Sansin multi-wash to remove dust and dirt. Then, reapply a maintenance coat of Sansin SDF following the application instructions. Exposure, application, and color choice will affect the coating’s performance.
