Application
Garden furniture, windows, doors, vertical surfaces and other wooden exterior
objects
1. Dampen the surface with water. Use a garden hose, but avoid a pressure washer, as pressure washing
may cause surface damage with improper use. If the wood surface has been treated with a finish other
than Hybrid Wood Protector, the previous finish must be removed before applying Hybrid Wood
Protector. Ensure that any previous finish is removed by starting with a low grit and working up in
consecutive grits (e.g... 40, 80,100,120).
2. Apply undiluted Exterior Wood Cleaner. Always use protective gloves, glasses, or a face-shield.
3. Scrub the treated area with a stiff bristle nylon brush in the lengthwise direction of the wood
until it is clean. In case of stubborn residue, repeat the treatment with Exterior Wood Cleaner.
Keep the surface wet with the cleaning solution for 10-15 minutes.
4. Rinse thoroughly with water until all the foam and dirt residue has disappeared, and let the
surface completely dry.
5. Stir the Hybrid Wood Protector thoroughly until a consistent mixture is obtained. Carefully add
10% Rubio Monocoat Accelerator (Part B) to the oil. Pot life is 4-6 hours. Only mix what you can use
up within that time frame. For vertical surfaces, Accelerator (Part B) is not required.
6. Apply a layer of Hybrid Wood Protector with a firm bristle paint brush.
7. Leave the oil to react for 10 minutes. Then smooth the surface again with the same brush (without
applying new product).
8. After 5 minutes, gently wipe off the surface with a lint-free cloth to remove traces of excess oil
until it appears even.
9. Let dry for about 24 hours. Complete curing takes place after 7 days.
Wood decking
1. Dampen the surface with water. Use a garden hose but never a pressure washer. Pressure washing may
cause surface damage with improper use. If the wood surface has been treated with a finish other
than Hybrid Wood Protector, the previous finish must be removed before applying Hybrid Wood
Protector. Ensure that any previous finish is completely removed by starting with a low grit and
work up in consecutive grits (e.g... 40, 60, 80 max).
2. Apply undiluted Exterior Wood Cleaner. Always use protective gloves, glasses, or a face-shield.
3. Scrub the treated area with a stiff bristle nylon brush in the lengthwise direction of the wood
until it is clean. In case of stubborn residue, repeat the treatment with Exterior Wood Cleaner.
Keep the surface wet with the cleaning solution for 10-15 minutes.
4. Rinse thoroughly with water until all the foam and dirt residue has disappeared, and let the
surface completely dry.
5. Stir the Hybrid Wood Protector thoroughly until a consistent mixture is obtained. Carefully add
10% Rubio Monocoat Accelerator (Part B) to the oil. Pot life is 4-6 hours. Only mix what you can use
up within that time frame.
6. Apply Hybrid Wood Protector to 3-4 deck boards at a time. Use a firm bristle paint brush, and
spread the oil in the direction of the wood. A buffer outfitted with a thick red buffer pad may also
be used.
7. Leave the oil to react for 10 minutes. Then smooth the surface again with the same brush (without
applying new product).
8. After 5 minutes, wipe the surface with a lint-free cloth to remove excess oil until the finish
looks even (or use a thick white buffer pad when using a buffer).
9. Let dry for about 24 hours. Complete curing takes place after 7 days.
Maintenance
When the finished wood shows weathering, a maintenance application of Hybrid Wood Protector in the
original applied color is required. The surface needs to be cleaned and prepared correctly before using
a maintenance application of Hybrid Wood Protector.
Horizontal surfaces such as decking and furniture
For decking, steps, and tables/chairs, a maintenance coat of Hybrid Wood Protector is generally
needed annually after the initial application. The maintenance coat should be applied before the
weather becomes unsuitable (even if it has been less than one year since the initial application).
Follow the maintenance steps outlined below.
Vertical surfaces such as siding and shutters
A maintenance coat of Hybrid Wood Protector on vertical exposures is required less frequently. The
severity of exposure determines the necessary frequency of a maintenance coat application. A
Southern/Western exposure typically needs a maintenance application sooner than on Northern/Eastern
exposure. Expect a maintenance coat on the most weather-exposed sides within 2-3 years. Follow the
maintenance steps outlined below.
1. Clean the wood surface thoroughly with Exterior Wood Cleaner. For lightly weathered surfaces,
dilute 1-part cleaner with 2-parts clean water. For medium to heavily weathered surfaces, dilute
1-part cleaner to 1-part clean water.
2. See our recommended application instructions for horizontal or vertical surfaces above.
