It is water repellent and increases the protection of wood already treated with water-based impregnating agents. It is easily applied by brush or spray, with a yield of about 10 m&sup2;\/L.<\/li>\n<li>If the answer is <strong>no<\/strong>, then we can go further and ask ourselves another question.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>&#128994; Is the impregnating agent used in the previous step white?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>If <strong>yes<\/strong>, then we recommend the transparent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vernicirioverde.it\/en\/vernice-per-legno-prodotti\/finitura-cerosa-rcxx30\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>RC 2030 Wax Finish<\/strong><\/a>.<br>\nWith high UV resistance, it forms an elastic film that adapts to the movements of the wood.
