APPLICATION
Rust-Oleum Porch & Floor Coating is ready to use. Do not
thin. Apply only when air, material, and surface
temperatures are between 50-90°F (10-32°C) and the
relative humidity is below 85%. Do not apply outdoors if rain
is expected within 24 hours. This product is self priming.
For the most durable finish apply two coats at the
recommended coverage rate. First coat will dry to touch in
1-2 hours. Allow a minimum 4-6 hours dry time before re-
coating. Apply with a high quality nylon/polyester bristle
brush, short nap paint/stain pad or roller or an airless
sprayer (do not use a pump sprayer). Brushing is the
preferred method, especially for rough sawn wood. When
rolling or spraying, make sure to back-brush along the grain.
This will eliminate any drips, runs, uneven coverage or
surface puddles. To minimize lap marks maintain a wet
edge. If using more than one gallon, intermix all cans of the
same product to ensure color uniformity.
Note: Painted floors may be slippery when wet. If desired,
an anti-skid additive (sold separately) may be added to the
mixed coating.

COVERAGE
Each gallon covers approximately 300 to 400 square feet of
previously painted or smooth, bare surfaces, per coat.
Coverage on rough or porous surfaces is approximately 200
to 300 square feet per gallon, per coat. For best
appearance, apply two coats.
DRY TIME
Because temperatures and humidity fluctuate, allow a
minimum 24 hours to dry before light foot traffic and 72
hours before returning furniture to deck/porch floor. Avoid
dragging furniture across surface. On newly coated
surfaces, allow 7 days cure before washing.
CLEAN UP
Wash tools and equipment with warm water and a mild
detergent immediately after use. To remove dried product
use lacquer thinner. Clean up over-spray, drips or spatters
with water IMMEDIATELY, as dried paint is very difficult to
remove. Properly dispose of all soiled rags and protect
unused product from freezing.
