Description

This test kit is designed to help with learning the nuances of the Grey Pine Tar Vitriol material for staining and protecting surfaces as well as for testing application methods and strategies for a particular project before diving in.

The kit is ideal for anyone at any level who wants to learn the material and do tests before proceeding with a project.

Pine Tar has a long documented history of being used to penetrate and protect wooden surfaces outdoors, while still allowing it to breathe. This product is already pre-mixed with a high-quality gum turpentine to give better penetration and a surface that finishes matte and less sticky.

Kit Contents
Application

Apply Grey Pine Tar Vitriol to new, untreated wood or to wood that was formerly treated with plain iron vitriol.

Clean the surface with Linseed Soap and water to remove dust and dirt from the wood with a brush. Rinse well and allow to dry.

Grey Pine Tar Vitriol comes diluted with a high-quality gum turpentine, so it is ready to use right out of the can. This helps to promote penetration into the wood for a long-lasting result. Stir well before use to ensure the pigment is well mixed.

The approximate spread rate of this premixed Grey Pine Tar Vitriol is 60-100 sqft per litre, depending on the density, smoothness, and overall condition of the substrate. It is also important to consider the environmental conditions. 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.

Drying can take from several days to several weeks depending on the weather and other environmental conditions as well as on the condition of the surface and its porosity.

Note

Grey Pine Tar Vitriol 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.

Pine Tar treatment for longevity

I discovered the virtues of pine tar and linseed oil as an effective new wood deck treatment on the internet. Very informative young lady did the interview and review.
My project is using Canadian Yellow Cedar( Itself a superior rot resistant wood)
The nicely package six sample test kit allowed me to dial in the color and ratio for actual finish color.
I chose the Brown-Black color mixed two parts pine tar with one part boiled linseed oil.
Because of the high gloss planer mill finish I prepped all side with 80 grit belt sanding. Without that step the mixture barely penetrated. ( did the water drip test.) no sanding and the water drop did not absorb in
Two hours! Sanded at 80 grit same wood fully absorbed the water drop in 2 minutes. Huge Huge difference!
Dry time to touch is about 2 days in 65 degree heat. Hard dry finish about 5 days.
I expect to get 70-100 year life out of this deck.
12x14’ 2”x6 top Planck, all under joist are 2x8” yellow cedar as well. All sides sanded and treated with the tar. Used 4 quarts of pine tar mixed with 2 quarts of boiled linseed oil. Rolled on with a 6” roller medium
Loft.
Getting installed next week.
Two days to sand, two days to apply the pine tar.

Everything you need

Everything you need to make a fairly generous test strip and even work out dilution rate and such if you’re so inclined.

First time user

Pleased with application ease and speed of drying. Goes on thin and absorbs rapidly. Colour change to grey is happening as published after about a week
