APPLICATION INFORMATION
Stir thoroughly and often during use. Apply to a small area and allow to dry to ensure acceptable appearance. Intermix containers to ensure color
uniformity. Apply two coats with a high quality brush, roller, paint/stain pad or by spray equipment. When spraying or rolling, always backbrush for
best results. Some colors, or drastic color changes, may require an additional coat to achieve a uniform finish. To help avoid lap marks, apply to
only a few boards at a time, and maintain a wet edge. DO NOT THIN.
Apply when no precipitation is expected for 24 hours, and when air and surface temperatures are 35°F to 90°F (2°C to 32°C) and will remain
above 35°F (2°C) for the next 24 hours. Avoid staining in direct sunlight or on hot surfaces.
Spray equipment must be handled with due care and in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations. High pressure injection of coatings
into the skin by airless equipment may cause serious injury.
Permissible temperatures during application:
Material: 35 to 90ºF 2 to 32ºC Ambient: 35 to 90ºF 2 to 32ºC Substrate: 35 to 90ºF 2 to 32ºC
Surface must be clean, dry and free of all dust, dirt, mildew, oil, loose wood fibers, and other contaminants. Remove loose, peeling stain or paint
by sanding, scraping or wire brushing. Prior to stain application, clean weathered, dirty, or mildewed surfaces with Olympic Deck Cleaner. After
rinsing, allow wood to dry.
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 family by contacting the USEPA National Lead
Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/lead. In Canada, contact a regional Health Canada office. Follow these
instructions to control exposure to other hazardous substances that may be released during surface preparation.

®
Multi-Purpose Wash. Before use, be sure to read and follow
the instructions and warnings on the label.
PRETEST: Test a small hidden area prior to application to ensure acceptable appearance and penetration.
PRIME: This product is self-priming over most substrates. Some woods, such as cedar and redwood, contain high amounts of tannin, a colored
wood extract. The first coat of stain may show some discoloration, but the tannins will be trapped in the first coat of stain. A second coat will
result in a uniform appearance.
EXTRACTIVE BLEEDING: Some woods, such as redwood and cedar contain high amounts of tannin, a colored wood extract. The first coat of
stain may show some color discoloration, but the tannins will be trapped in the first coat of stain. A second coat will result in a uniform
appearance.
