Brown Pine Tar
Description
Brown Pine Tar is made from Genuine Dark Pine Tar with natural brown pigment added. The rich brown colour in paint became more common in the European romantic period during the last century. Now, almost 200 years later, brown façades are becoming more and more popular again. Brown Pine Tar is ideal for wooden buildings, fences, boat houses, and any outdoor surface where a strong brown colour is desired. Additionally, it protects the wood against the elements, including UV rays on surfaces strongly affected by the sun.
Pine Tar has a long documented history of being used to penetrate and protect wooden surfaces outdoors, while still allowing it to breathe. Mix with Purified Linseed Oil to create a natural, brown wood stain, giving better penetration and a surface that finishes matte and less sticky.
Application
Apply Brown Pine Tar to new, untreated wood or to wood that was formerly treated with Pine Tar, or distemper paints such as Falun Paint.
Clean the surface with Linseed Oil Soap and water to remove dust and dirt from the wood with a brush. Rinse well and allow to dry.
Pine Tar comes concentrated, and there are many old recipes for dilution, but we like to mix 50/50 with Purified Linseed Oil and apply the mixture warm (approx. 60ºC) and to a warm surface in order to avoid the need for solvents. This helps to promote penetration into the wood for a long-lasting result. Adjust the ratio according to your project. See the Auson Technical Data Sheet below for more detail.
Minimum operating temperature: 10 - 15ºC on the surface and in the air. Beware of invisible condensation on surfaces below 15ºC.
Note: Brown Pine Tar is a product from nature, where the appearance may vary slightly from batch to batch. For larger quantities, it can be a good idea to mix several cans together for better uniformity.
