or is not absorbed, the surface is sealed and not ready to coat. If any part of the surface is not absorbing the
water, use the Restore Deck Stripper and sand using 50 or 60 grit sand paper again in that section. Clean again
with a brush and Restore Deck & Concrete Cleaner and conduct the splash test again. Continue this process until
the water is absorbed by the wood in all test areas. Let the surface dry completely before application. Failure to
follow this process will result in poor adhesion and possible coating failure.
Step 4 – Light Repairs:
Raised nail heads and/or screws should be secured using a hammer or screwdriver. Remove loose splinters and
replace severely damaged or rotting boards. Fill larger cracks using RESTORE CRACK FILLER or a similar acrylic,
non-silicone filler. Allow to dry.
7. WEATHER
Monitor the weather to see not only what the weather will be like for the day you plan on applying Restore 2X One
Coat Solid Stain with Cool Touch, but also for at least 6 hours after application is complete. ONLY APPLY RESTORE
2X ONE COAT SOLID STAIN WITH COOL TOUCH WHEN THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE WILL BE BETWEEN 50-90
DEGREES FAHRENHEIT DURING APPLICATION AND FOR AT LEAST 6 HOURS AFTER APPLICATION. DO NOT APPLY IF
RAIN IS EXPECTED THE DAY OF APPLICATION OR WITHIN 24 HOURS OF COMPLETING THE APPLICATION.

areas between deck boards.
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICATION
STEP 1:
Before using Restore 2X One Coat Solid Stain with Cool Touch, mix material thoroughly and repeat mixing
occasionally during application. We recommend that you use a power drill with a mixing paddle for best results.
When using more than one container, combine all containers to ensure color consistency.
STEP 2:
Using a 3/8” nap roller, a short nap stain pad, or a synthetic paint brush saturate and apply generously in a
consistent pattern. Work to a wet edge at all times. Avoid rolling back into coated areas where drying has begun.
STEP 3:
Allow to dry 24 hours before light foot traffic and 48 hours before replacing furniture. If surface is tacky or soft,
allow extended drying time before putting furniture or other heavy objects back in place. Full cure to a hard finish
will take approximately 7 days.
9. DRYING TIMES
Dry times may vary due to weather conditions such as humidity, rain, high/low temperatures and seasonal
changes. Apply Restore 2X One Coat Solid Stain with Cool Touch when no rain is expected for a minimum of 24
hours after application. Allow the area to dry for a minimum 24 hours before light foot traffic on the surface and
48 hours before placing furniture on the area.
Dry times are based off the optimal application temperature of 70 degrees. Allow more time to dry at lower
temperatures. Restore 2X One Coat Solid Stain with Cool Touch should not be applied if temperatures are below
50 degrees and above 90 degrees during application and for at least 6 hours after application.
