Description Yellow Pine Tar is made from Genuine Dark Pine Tar with natural yellow pigment added, which ensures a lovely matte colour in addition to protection from rot, mildew and drying-out. The classic ochre-yellow hue is a colour deeply rooted in the Scandinavian building tradition that has adorned wooden buildings, boathouses, farms, and mountain cabins for generations, but works equally well on modern facades. Uniting the traditional and modern, Yellow Pine Tar is ideal for any outdoor surface where a timeless yellow 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. This product is already pre-mixed and ready to use as it is. It should not be diluted, regardless of the surface. Testing Before diving in, use the 100 mL Tester to help with learning the nuances of the material for staining and protecting surfaces and to ensure you achieve the desired result. Test the colour on your particular surface, test application methods and strategies for your particular project. The 100 mL Tester qualifies for free shipping. See our Shipping Policy for more details. Application 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. Yellow Pine Tar is ready to use right out of the can, and mixing with linseed oil is not necessary. The ready-mixed product penetrates into the wood for a long-lasting result. Stir well before use to ensure the pigment is well mixed. Apply Yellow Pine Tar to an absorbent surface, such as bare wood or to wood that was formerly treated with Pine Tar, natural oil, such as Purified Linseed Oil, or distemper paints such as Falun Paint. Pine Tar is best applied with a brush, so you can work the material into the wood. It is possible to spray Pine Tar after it has been warmed or diluted. Pine Tar is a penetrating material that is not meant to build a thick film on the surface, or there is a risk of cracking over time and possibly even bleeding back out of the wood during hot weather. The approximate spread rate of this pine tar mixture is 50-90 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. Always stir well before painting, since the pigment will settle near the bottom of the can during storage. Stir regularly while painting, too. This will help to ensure the pigment is evenly distributed in the can and help to ensure an even colour on the facade. 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. Notes Yellow 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. Documents TDS Yellow Pine TarSDS Yellow Pine Tar Pine Tar Painting Guide Show more
