'''A MAGLIN® WOODSTOCK 3-468 Innovation Way, Woodstock ON N4V 0B9 T 800-716-5506 DENVER 99918th Street, #3000, Denver, CO 80202 F 877-260-9393 www.maglin.com sales c@i maglin.com Thermally Modified Ash left untreated is considered maintenance free. Left alone, the material will weather to a natural grey patina. If it is undesirable to have wood remain grey, maintenance coats can be applied periodically using hardwood exterior penetrating oil such as Cutek. Cutek is recommended as after the modification process the material will no longer take moisture from the air. Cutek controls this after penetrating the ash. Checking will occur, however use of Cutek will help to minimize and this does not affect the strength or durability of the material. Some discoloration after oiling in the material may be observed, however, thermal ash tends to have a uniform raw appearance. Cutek oils are designed to gradually fade over time rather than peel off, split or crack as is the case with many conventional film forming coatings. For this reason, the rejuvenation and maintenance of Cutek coated surfaces is a simple, fast, and cost-effective process. Recoat time varies widely according to many factors including the age and porosity of the timber, situation, and exposure to the weather. Typically, horizontal exterior smooth surfaces exposed to full weather may require recoating every 6 months to 2 years, while vertical cladding may require maintenance less frequently. The use of varnish or urethane is not recommended and should be avoided. WEATHERING OF WOOD GRAYING Unfinished wood will weather to a natural gray patina. CHECKING During the initial drying process, the outside of the wood dries quicker than the interior, which causes differential stresses to develop. The combined effect of these drying stresses in wood often results in the formation of a check or a split. These seasoning characteristics are not problematic; it is important to remember that as wood dries, it becomes stronger. The development of these seasoning characteristics is quite normal. For Ipe, this will occur if Deckwise Ipe Oil is re -applied or not. For Thermal Ash, Cutek will help limit the amount of checking. Both instances are climate dependent for severity. CHROMA SURFACE REFINISH During the service life of Chroma, it is possible that the surface will become scratched after regular use. The matte finish of the material allows it to be refinished if desired. If Chroma needs to be refinished for any reason, the panels may be renewed by sanding with an orbital sander at 10000-12000 RPMs using 3M 360L or 334U grade 240 grit paper. 1. If there are deep scratches, first use a coarse sandpaper on the damaged area 150 grit. Move in a circular motion ensuring to sand at least 12" away from the affected area to ensure it is blended out. 2. Next, wet the surface by misting it with a bottle of water. Now using the 3M 360L of 334U grade 240 grit paper, place the sander on the surface to wet the paper before turning it on. 3. Begin sanding in a circular motion with even pressure and keeping the sander flat until the damage and scratches are fully removed and any marks left by the coarse sandpaper is removed. 4. Wipe down the entire surface with a mixture of mild detergent and water using a dry clean cloth. 5. Finish by applying Maglin - Countertop Cleaner to help resist oils and stains. SURFACE CLEANING A regular cleaning of Chroma will help maintain its original look. To clean off any dirt or grease use a soft cloth or sponge and some mild soap and lukewarm water. This will generally be sufficient to restore the surface to its original appearance. Repeat this step twice. The sooner the dirt and grease can be removed, the better. For more difficult stains, dirt, or grease surface cleaners such as Fantastik® or Formula 409® also work well. Avoid rubbing dry cloths on the Chroma surface, this may cause scratching. Scrapers or squeegees should never be used. Strong solvents or chemical cleaners should be avoided. Once the surface has been cleaned, Magic - Countertop Cleaner is recommended for a final finish. This will help resist stains in the future. 2Maglin Site Furniture is the registered trademark of Maglin Site Furniture Inc. and Maglin Corporation
