Always follow the manufacturer's instructions found on the tin and use only as described on the label.
- Shake Well. Apply with a synthetic brush designed for solvent-borne products.
- Spread evenly and ensure that the end grain is thoroughly treated along with cut and drilled areas.
- It is recommended that a minimum of 2 coats are applied depending on wood species and surface characteristics.
- Allow 6–12 hours drying time (touch dry) between coats.
- Applying successive coats will provide a darker finish and on smooth wood a higher sheen finish.

Apply liberally to the end grain and allow it to be thoroughly absorbed. The ends of the timber can also be stood in Cut End Preserver for an hour to allow it to deeply penetrate.
