Use and Care Manual

In order to ascertain this one should consider a Pin-Type Moisture Meter!
The viscosity of Ready Seal Wood Stain provides a wide application temperature spectrum ranging from teens to 120+ degrees.
The Moisture Content of Substrate Must be @ 12% or Less! Penetration and dry time is certainly slower in the cooler
temperatures. Dry Time can be 3 to 7 days.
Ready Seal Does Not Raise The Grains of Wood. Regarding Decks, You can walk & re-stage furniture right away without any foot
prints, finger prints or markings.
If you want to accelerate the dry time and circumvent the tracking, saturate an old cloth or old
mop with mineral spirits and take across surface to cut excess oil. This will address the slippery surface & curtail the tracking
issues.
An Airless will work fine. Use a tip with 1.8-2.3 GPM range…211-213(2 denotes a 4" Height/.011-.013 orifice) tip size and turn
down PSI. You only need 40-60 PSI to push the Ready Seal Product. A pump garden sprayer is ideal since it’s GPM rating is 2
gallons per minute and is in concert with the viscosity of Ready Seal. Either choice will render success.
Use mineral spirits or paint thinner for clean up!
Ready Seal has no carcinogens and when it dries, your substrate (e.g. picnic table, children’s play set, outdoor furniture) will be
suitable of normal use.
Ready Seal is biodegradable! Microbes are most active @ 70’ allowing Ready Seal to dissipate in salt water within 7 days; fresh
water within 14 days; and ground soil within 21 days.
New to 3 Year Old horizontal substrate materials will only take one coat of Ready Seal!
See New Deck Prep & Application Recommendations Below as well as the 2 Coat Test Method!
If new substrate material is kiln dried, you should be @ 12% moisture content benchmark and ready for staining if there has not
been a precipitation experience in the past 72 hours. Otherwise, You need to wait 4 to 6 weeks to make sure the material is
dried to 12% moisture or less. New materials can still be holding up to 20-28% Moisture!
Clean with 25% household bleach/75%water mixture. Spray-Apply mixture waiting 15 minutes for good penetration and then
rinsing thoroughly with garden hose. This will remove oxidation & kill algae/mildew! The substrate must be dried to 12%
moisture content or less, then apply Ready Seal. Apply 1 coat allowing for 1 hour of penetration, then before applying a 2nd
coat verify per 2 Coat Test Method. If ready, apply 2nd coat with a
2 hour window before rain.
