Cutek Colourtones - Burnt Red

Cutek Colourtone - Burnt Red

*One tin of Colour tone required per 5L of Cutek Extreme CD 50*

UNDERSTANDING CUTEK® COLOURTONES

Un-tinted CUTEK® Extreme CD50 or CUTEK Wood Preservative® will quickly lighten/silver/grey with exposure to sunlight. Unless you want a clear finish that will naturally lighten/silver/grey off in a few months, it is important to mix CUTEK® Colourtones to your oil before use.

Adding CUTEK® Colourtones will provide UV colour protection and slows the lightening/silvering process.

(NOTE: CUTEK® Extreme CD50 and CUTEK® Wood Preservative diffuse deeply into your timber and will continue to provide moisture protection and improve dimensional stability even if CUTEK® Colourtones are not added and your wood becomes weathered and greyed.)

CHOOSING THE RIGHT CUTEK® COLOURTONE

To maintain your timber’s natural colour for longer, choose a CUTEK® Colourtone similar to the natural colour of your timber. Suggested CUTEK® Colourtones that match the natural hue of your timber can be found in our tables below. Colourtones can also help alter your timber colour if required (e.g. make your timber look lighter or darker than its natural state). Always obtain a free sample testpot to check your colour choice before proceeding with your project.
