SICO | ProLuxe Cetol 23

Label Notice: Label may appear different upon pickup.

Colours shown are approximate and will vary depending on wood species, porosity, and prep. Always test a sample. For translucent finishes, the underlying wood tone will influence final colour.

• Wood must be clean, dry, and free of dirt, grease, grime, mildew, mill glaze, and old coatings.
• Wet the surface with clean water before cleaning.
• Clean with: 4 oz powdered TSP (or substitute) + 1 qt bleach + 3 qt water.
• Scrub 15–20 minutes. Do not let solution dry on the surface.
• Rinse thoroughly using 500–800 psi, nozzle 8–12 in away.
• Let dry 48 hours or until moisture content is 18% or less.
• Sand: 80–120 grit (vertical) | 60–80 grit (horizontal). Sand with the grain and remove dust.
• Apply finish within 1 week (horizontal) or 4 weeks (vertical) if the surface stays clean.

Lead Warning: Scraping or sanding old paint may release lead dust. Use a NIOSH-approved respirator and follow EPA lead-safe practices.

• CAUTION: Surfaces are slippery when wet.
• Test absorbency: if water absorbs within 30 sec–2 min, wood is ready. If not, wait 30 days and re-test.
• Test your color on a small area first. Intermix containers to reduce color variance.
• Stir thoroughly before and during use. Do not thin.
• Apply when air/surface temperature is 50 °F – 90 °F (10 °C – 32 °C).
• Do not apply in direct sunlight, or if rain/snow/heavy dew or temps below 40 °F (4 °C) are expected within 48 hours.
• Preferred: natural bristle brush. If rolling/spraying, back-brush immediately.
• Airless spray: .011″–.015″ tip @ 700–800 psi (adjust as needed).
• Apply one even coat with the grain; avoid heavy application. Maintain a wet edge to reduce lap marks.
• Coat end grains and board backs (when possible) for best protection.

Dries to touch in ~12 hours. Dries to light foot traffic in 24–48 hours. Wait 72 hours before replacing furniture. Cooler temps, high humidity, thick films, or poor ventilation may increase dry times.

On rough/weathered surfaces: 150–200 sq ft/gal (4–6 m²/L). On smooth surfaces/hardwoods: 250–400 sq ft/gal (6–9 m²/L). Actual coverage varies with wood type, age, texture, and application method.

Clean tools immediately with mineral spirits. Clean spills right away with a damp cloth. Apply a maintenance coat when visibly required. Areas showing minimal wear should only be lightly coated. Hardwoods and lighter colors may require more frequent maintenance.

• DANGER: Combustible liquid and vapor. Harmful or fatal if swallowed.
• Causes respiratory tract and eye irritation; may cause skin irritation.
• Use adequate ventilation during and after application and drying.
• Avoid breathing vapor/mist/sanding dust. Avoid eye/skin contact.
• Spontaneous combustion risk: Oil-soaked rags/steel wool/waste can ignite. Store immediately in a sealed, water-filled metal container.
• FIRST AID: If swallowed, rinse mouth (if conscious) and call physician immediately. Do not induce vomiting unless directed. If in eyes, rinse 15 minutes. If on skin, wash with soap/water. If inhaled, move to fresh air and seek medical advice if symptoms occur.
• Keep out of reach of children. Read label/MSDS before use.
