    Area Preparation

    All wood surfaces must be thoroughly clean, dry and free of dirt, grease, grim, mildew, mill glaze and previous coatings before application. Spray all wood surfaces with clean water, completely wetting the wood. Apply a cleaning solution of four (4) ounces of 100% powdered Tri-Sodium Phosphate (TSP) or phosphate-free substitute with one (1) quart of liquid bleach and three (3) quarts of water to the wood surfaces with a garden sprayer or a heavy nap roller cover. Scrub surface with a hard bristle brush for 15-20 minutes to help remove mill glaze or weathering. Do not allow solution to dry on the wood surface. Power wash wood surface clean with fresh water using 500- 800 psi with the nozzle 8-12 inches away to remove cleaning solution. Allow the surface to dry for 48 hours, or to have a moisture content of 18% or less before application. Sand all cleaned wood using 80-120 grit sandpaper for vertical surfaces and 60-80 grit sandpaper for horizontal surfaces. Always sand in the direction of the wood grain and remove sanding dust. Finish should be applied within one week of preparation for horizontal surfaces (decks) and four weeks for vertical surfaces (siding), provided that the surface remains free of dirt, grease, grim and mildew. 

    WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint, you may release lead dust or fumes. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST OR FUMES CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN,  PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a properly fitted, NIOSH-approved respirator and prevent skin contact to control lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a HEPA vacuum and a wet mop. Before you start, find out how to protect yourself and your familiy by contacting the USEPA National Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-0424-LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/lead.  Follow these instructions to control exposure to other hazardous substances that may be released during surface preparation.

    Application Details

    CAUTION: Surfaces are slippery when wet. Use caution when walking on wet surfaces during application. Test wood for absorbency by sprinkling water on the surface – if water is absorbed within 30 sec. - 2 min., depending on climate, the surface is ready for finishing. If water is not absorbed, wait 30 days and re-test. Before starting, test your color choice on a small area. Buy sufficient product for the whole job. Intermix all product together before starting to avoid color variance. Stir thoroughly before and during application. Do not thin. Apply when air and surface temperature is between 50° F (10° C) - 90° F (32° C). Do not apply in direct sunlight, if rain, snow, heavy dew or low temperatures below 40° F (4° C) are expected within 48 hours. Application using a natural bristle brush is the preferred method. If applied by roller or airless sprayer, back brush immediately to ensure penetration and to avoid an uneven finish. For airless spray, use a .011”-.015” tip at 700 - 800 psi, adjust pressure as needed. Apply only one even coat, in the direction of the grain avoiding heavy application. To avoid lap marks, start at one edge and follow through to the end of each board, maintaining a wet edge. Coat all end grains and the back of all boards if possible.

    Drying Time

    Dries to touch in approximately 12 hours. Dries to light foot traffic in 24 - 48 hours. Wait 72 hours before replacing furniture. Low temperature, high humidity, thick films or poor ventilation will increase these times. Avoid heavy abrasions immediately following application.

    Coverage

    On rough and weathered surfaces, 150-200 sq ft/gallon (4-6 m2 /L). On smooth surfaces or hardwoods, 250-400 sq ft/gallon (6-9 m2 /L). Actual coverage may vary depending on the type, age and texture of the wood and application method.

    Cleanup

    Clean tools immediately with mineral spirits. Clean spills right away with a damp cloth. To maintain the products protective characteristics, apply a maintenance coat when visibly required. Clean and prepare surface as specified under GENERAL SURFACE PREPARATION. Areas that show minimal wear should only be lightly coated. Hardwoods and lighter colors may require more frequent maintenance.
