About this product

A factory-applied water-borne exterior topcoat. The sheet's times are indicative because they are measured on glass, and it asks for 10°C air and surface, and 15°C paint.

Using this specific product

Teknos Nordica Eko 3330-13 is listed here as the Water-borne exterior topcoat for wood (Finland) version for exterior wood and cladding. For finishing wood, the useful question is not simply whether the surface looks finished—it is whether the exact next-action milestone shown above has been reached.

Before you start

  • Confirm the package says Water-borne exterior topcoat for wood (Finland); related versions can use different timing.
  • For exterior wood and cladding, pay particular attention to bare-wood preparation, coat thickness and room airflow.
  • At 23°C and 50% relative humidity, 120 microns wet on glass.

How to check readiness

Check a hidden area for tack, odor and marking before handling or use. Touch only a hidden edge first; a dry surface can conceal a soft layer underneath.

Avoid this mistake

Cool, humid rooms and heavy coats can extend the usable wait substantially.
