Manufacturer sheet reviewed: ideal application temperature is 21°C at approximately 50% relative humidity. Do not apply when rain or near-freezing temperatures are expected, on wood warm to the touch or in direct sunlight. Keep the coating free of rain for 24 hours. No hard numeric air or surface minimum/maximum or measured wood-moisture limit is specified. The near-freezing restriction has no stated duration; storage temperatures and reference drying temperatures are not application limits. Cold or humid conditions extend drying.

Manufacturer sheet reviewed: ideal application temperature is 21°C at approximately 50% relative humidity. Do not apply in the heat of the day or direct sunlight. Rain and near-freezing temperatures must not be likely within 24 hours after application. No hard numeric air or surface minimum/maximum or measured wood-moisture limit is specified. The 10–30°C range in the sheet is for storage. Drying and recoating times depend on conditions.

Manufacturer sheet reviewed: do not apply in the heat of the day, in direct sunlight, on wood warm to the touch, or when rain or near-freezing temperatures are expected. No hard numeric air or surface minimum/maximum, ideal application temperature, measured wood-moisture limit or weather-free duration is specified. The 20°C drying reference and storage range are not application limits. Drying is slower in cold or humid conditions; follow the specified penetrating-undercoat system for bare wood.

Canadian SIK42XXXC sheet: keep air and surface at 10–32°C during application and for 24 hours afterward; ideal temperature is 20°C ±5°C. Relative humidity must not exceed 85%. Keep the surface at least 3°C above the dew point. Avoid direct sunlight. Do not apply if rain, snow, heavy dew or temperatures below 4°C are forecast within 48 hours. The notes require wood moisture below 18%; this strict limit is not displayed as an inclusive maximum. High humidity and cold extend drying.

Canadian SIK250XXXC sheet: keep air and surface at 10–32°C during application and for 24 hours afterward; ideal temperature is 20°C ±5°C. Relative humidity must not exceed 85%. Keep the surface at least 3°C above the dew point. Avoid direct sunlight. Do not apply if rain, snow, heavy dew or temperatures below 4°C are forecast within 48 hours. Wood moisture must be 12–18%. Apply one coat only; allow 48 hours before light foot traffic and 72 hours before heavy traffic or replacing furniture. Cold and humidity extend drying.
