Usage

Exterior : Ideal for decks, siding, docks, fences, structures, garden furniture, doors, windows, play areas, flower boxes, and other outdoor wood projects.

Colours*

Rich and full-bodied, our colours are carefully prepared to bring out the natural grain of the wood. Durable, our oils let the wood breathe while providing the desired effect.

Colours can be mixed to create unique shades.

For application on rough-sawn wood, you can reduce the colour intensity by adding Pareo 00 – Colourless in a maximum ratio of 1:1. This step is not recommended for planed or sanded wood, as diluting the colour pigments would decrease UV resistance.

Applying colours 00 – Colourless and 22 – Natural on sun-exposed surfaces requires more frequent maintenance.

Colour 00 – Colourless provides an amber finish and enhances the wood grain.

Colour 22 – Natural has a slightly whitened effect, helping to maintain the whiteness of light woods (pine, maple, cherry, spruce, beech, aspen, etc.). It’s strongly recommended to perform a test beforehand on open-grain and coloured woods (oak, walnut, mahogany, elm, etc.).

^*Colours are for guidance only. Actual colours may vary from screen to screen.

Use

Preparation

Ensure the wood’s moisture content is below 15%.
Do not apply in direct sunlight or at temperatures below 10 °C, or in very humid conditions.
For untreated wood or regular maintenance, clean the wood with PAREO PREP. For stripping stained or oiled wood, clean with PAREO RESET.
The wood must be clean, completely dry, and sanded with 60 or 80 grit sandpaper; change the sandpaper regularly to ensure good product penetration.
Dust off using a vacuum cleaner.
Perform a product test on a hidden surface and allow 24 hours between coats to validate the result, as it may vary depending on the type of wood used.

Application

Thoroughly mix with a stick before and during application.
Apply the first coat generously until the wood is saturated using a staining brush or a staining pad.
After 5 to 10 minutes, if necessary, wipe the surface with clean POLYCOTTON RAGS to remove any excess oil.
Clean tools and accessories used with the TOOLS CLEANER AND THINNER, and soak oil-saturated cloths in water before disposing of them.
Allow drying for 12 to 24 hours.
If more than 24 hours have passed since the first application, lightly sand with 120-grit sandpaper before the second application.
Apply a second thin coat, repeating all previous steps.

Further treatment

The greatest advantage of oil in wood treatment lies in its ease of maintenance and repair. The key to well-maintained oiled wood is prevention. The longer the interval between treatments, the longer the process will take. When PAREO CLEAN and PAREO MAINTENANCE products are no longer sufficient to keep your oiled wood in good condition, it’s a sign that it’s time to consider applying a new layer of oil.

Good general condition (Wood slightly dull) :

Clean the wood with PAREO CLEAN.
Apply a coat of PAREO according to the product instructions.
No sanding or stripping required.

Good general condition (Stains or small damaged areas) :

Sand the damaged area with 60 or 80-grit sandpaper.
Apply two coats of PAREO finishing oil to the sanded area following the product instructions.

Medium general condition (Slight discolouration, multiple stains, reduced resistance against water) :

Clean the wood with PAREO PREP.
Apply one to two coats of PAREO according to the product instructions.
No sanding or stripping required.

Poor general condition (Severe discolouration, graying surface, no water resistance, many stains or damaged areas) :

Clean the wood with PAREO RESET.
Sand the wood with 60 or 80-grit sandpaper.
Apply two coats of PAREO according to the product instructions.
