The foll hiprolean owing approach is one such application method, which has generally been accepted by the industry. Using an applicator as specified by the manufacturer of the coating system (a 6mm Mohair roller or equivalent is commonly utilised) the applicator is immersed in the liquid and removed, removing any excess dripping material back into the container. A large painters tray is ideal for this situation as it allows the applicator to be lightly squeezed on the shallow portion of the tray. The application of the product on the boards should be carried out in a smooth action starting at one end of the boards and working the product along the full length of the boards. It is important to work on only fairly narrow strips of boards at a time ie 2 – 6 board widths. The finish should be feathered off at the outer edge to minimise any build up of coating at this point.
