Auson Tar Vitriol is a thin tar glaze that produces a stylish, modern grey colour. The warm grey colour appears gradually, as the tar’s natural brown colour is toned down. The end result is a stylish grey hue that blends in with nature and protects the wood. Tar Vitriol contains turpentine and can be used on untreated wood and on wood that has previously been treated with tar or iron vitriol. You can use Pine Tar Vitriol on wood paneling, timber such as facades, fences, wooden ceilings, pallet collars etc. Pine Tar is nature´s own wood protection and consists among others various kinds of resins and terpenes. Resins are the tree´s natural way of protecting themselves against micro-organisms and heal injuries. Terpenes are a solvent and it accelerates the drying process. Pine Tar is produced of resin-rich pine trees in furnace. Always stir well before painting, since the colour pigment gathers near the bottom during storage. Stir regularly while painting, too. This is particularly important for the vitriol pine tar, as it’s thinner than the other pine tar paints and therefore needs more frequent stirring. Otherwise the colour pigment will gather at the bottom and you will end up with an uneven colour on your facade.
