Sikkens: the right color

Symptoms

When humidity is trapped in woodstains or varnishes, white spots may appear.

Cause

  • Damp substrate or humid atmosphere when coating was applied or during drying
  • Porous varnish/stain type
  • Water getting in (moisture ingress)
  • Insufficient layers applied          

Solution

Remove old varnish/stain layers; if necessary treat with wood bleach, which will reintroduce the original wood color. Consequently treat with a new system, for example a varnish like Cetol BB or a good quality coating like Cetol BL Opaque.
