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.
6. 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, but also for at least 6 hours after application is complete. ONLY APPLY RESTORE 2X ONE COAT
SOLID STAIN WHEN THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE WILL BE BETWEEN 50-90 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT DURING

APPLICATION OR WITHIN 24 HOURS OF COMPLETING THE APPLICATION.
7. APPLICATION FOR WOOD
ONE THICK COAT OF RESTORE 2X ONE COAT SOLID STAIN IS REQUIRED
TRIM AND VERTICAL SURFACES
Before applying Restore 2X One Coat Solid Stain to the horizontal portions of the deck, first coat vertical surfaces
such as deck posts, railings, or balusters. Next cut in around edges with a brush and coat visible areas between
deck boards.
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICATION
STEP 1:
Before using Restore 2X One Coat Solid Stain, 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.
8. 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 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 should not be applied if temperatures are below 50 degrees and above 90 degrees
during application and for at least 6 hours after application.
9. CLEAN UP
Restore 2X One Coat Solid Stain is a water based product that will clean up with soap and water. For best results
clean up should be done before the product dries. Cover the areas around spindles and walls to avoid splattering
during the application process.
