maintenance; visit rustoleum.com/restore.
1. SURFACES
Wood: Restore 2X One Coat Solid Stain with Cool Touch should only be applied on structurally sound wood and
most composite surfaces. Some composite decking is engineered with moisture repellants or sealers that may
prevent proper adhesion. Be sure to follow specific manufacturer’s recommendation before applying to any
composite decking.
NOT FOR USE ON: Smooth or floated concrete, fiberglass, tile, and metal surfaces. These surfaces will not allow
for proper adhesion. Do not use on driveways, garages, or other areas with vehicular traffic.
2. NEW WOOD
New wood may be wet with chemicals or have mill glaze from the manufacturing process. New wood should age
for a minimum of 6 months before applying Restore 2X One Coat Solid Stain with Cool Touch. The lumber must dry
completely before applying the product to prevent peeling of the coating. The surface must also be properly
cleaned and prepared using Restore Deck & Concrete Cleaner to remove all foreign material and mill glaze prior to
application. Follow the PREPARATION instructions to be sure the Restore 2X One Coat Solid Stain with Cool Touch
adheres properly to the wood.
3. TINTING
Restore 2X One Coat Solid Stain with Cool Touch is available in two pre-tinted colors, Timberline and Chocolate.
THIS PRODUCT DOES NOT NEED TO BE TINTED AT THE STORE.
4. SURFACE TEMPERATURE REDUCTION
Restore 2X One Coat Solid Stain with Cool Touch reflects the sun’s rays to reduce the surface temperature up to
15° Fahrenheit compared with traditional solid stains of a similar color. Temperature reduction will vary based on
the ambient temperature, time of day, and the amount of direct sunlight on the surface.

one coat.
