Swedish term or phrase: stickfri
Hello,

I'm doing a translation about a wood protection product and I'm not sure about the term 'stickfri' - the full sentance is: "Ytan blir ren, len, vattenavvisande och stickfri." So far I have "The surface is left clean, smooth, water repellent and ..." Any ideas?

Thanks,

Nicola

Explanation:
My guess is that the surface of the wood will be free of splinters.
A more unlikely translation could be non-stick, but I doubt it.
