Description
Mauveine was the very first synthetic organic chemical dye that is credited for launching the synthetic dye industry. Very fashionable in the Victorian era it was a colour sported by Queen Victoria on a silk gown worn at the 1862 Royal Exhibition. This shade is matched with Violet from our Wood Protector range.

Advice: It is recommended that 2 – 3 coats be applied. If 1 coat is to be applied for a translucent look, apply Royal Clear on top to produce a harder surface finish. Protek Royal is a high-build formulation so each extra coat increases the colour and sheen. If applying to bare timber a knotting agent should be used prior to application. When applied to floorboards a top coat of breathable polyurethane sealant or varnish should be applied to protect against heavy foot traffic.
This is a protective water-repellent coating. If your timber isn't treated with a preservative then depending on the type of wood and product, you may want to use our Wood Preserver ++ first.
