  CARE & HANDLING,
 INSTALLATION, &
FINISHING INSTRUCTIONS


CARE & HANDLING

1.    Do not store mouldings in damp areas, freshly plastered buildings, or place in moisture rich conditions. 
2.    Store mouldings on a flat, level surface in a dry, well-ventilated building.  
3.    Cover products to keep clean but allow circulation. Relative humidity should not be less than 30% or greater than 60%.  
4.    Mouldings should not be subjected to abnormal heat, extreme dryness, humid conditions, or sudden changes therein. They should be conditioned to the average prevailing humidity of the locality before installation.
5.    Permanent-type heat and air conditioning must be in operation a sufficient length of time to “cure” the building before delivery of the product.
6.    Clean with mild soap and water. A polish or wax is not necessary. A liquid floor polish can be used if a glossy shine or extra protection is desired. 

INSTALLATION

1.    Allow mouldings to acclimatize to the job site for a minimum of 72 hours before installation.
2.    Mouldings are glued, tacked, or stapled into place. Each application may have different installation requirements, depending on a particular job situation. Please contact your Woodland representative for any specific questions prior to installing. 

FINISHING

1.    All wood products require proper surface preparations prior to the application of any finish. 
2.    To get a consistent stain color and finish, always sand all mouldings with 100-120 grit sandpaper. Never use 180 or 220 grit on raw wood; it can result in polishing, burnishing, or inconsistent stain appearance.
3.    Always seal concealed or backing of moulding to eliminate the possibility of expansion caused by moisture absorption.  
4.    To ensure uniform color when applying dark stains, it is highly recommended that a wash coat be applied, followed by a light sanding.  
5.    It is also good practice to apply stains with the mouldings in a horizontal position. This prevents the solvents from evaporating too quickly, which is a common cause of streaks caused by stains setting up before cleaning can be completed.

IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOLLOWED IN ORDER TO PRESERVE YOUR WARRANTY.
