FAQs
How long does it take for the treatment to dry?
Drying time can vary depending on the wood type and environmental conditions, but it generally takes between 12 to 24 hours.
Can I paint over the treated wood?
Yes, once the treatment is completely dry, you can paint or apply other finishes. Always check the paint manufacturer's guidelines for compatibility.
How often should I reapply the treatment?
The frequency of reapplication depends on the environmental conditions and the severity of infestation. Inspect the treated wood regularly, and reapply as needed, typically every 5-10 years, or if signs of re-infestation appear.
Is Soluguard Woodworm & Rot Treatment safe for pets?
While the product is designed for use in homes, it's advisable to keep pets away from the treated area until it is completely dry. Ensure adequate ventilation to allow fumes to dissipate.
What safety precautions should I take when applying the treatment?

What is the coverage of the 5L container?
Coverage depends on the porosity of the wood. The 5L container will typically cover approximately 20-30 square meters, but this can vary. Always apply a sufficient amount to ensure complete penetration.
Troubleshooting
Sprayer is not working.
Check the sprayer for blockages. Ensure the tube is properly connected and that the nozzle is not clogged. If the problem persists, replace the sprayer.
