50°- 90° F for at least 6 hours after application.
No rain within 24 hours of application.
HOW TO PREPARE THE SURFACE
REGARDLESS OF AGE OR SURFACE CONDITION, FAILURE TO
FOLLOW ONE OF THESE PREPARATION METHODS WILL
RESULT IN POOR ADHESION AND POSSIBLE COATING
FAILURE. NEW AND SEALED WOOD DECKS NEED TO
WEATHER AT LEAST SIX MONTHS BEFORE APPLICATION.
METHOD 1 – PREPARATION WITH RESTORE DECK START
WOOD PRIMER (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)
STEP 1: CLEAN - Clean the surface using a deck brush and RESTORE
DECK & CONCRETE CLEANER. The surface must be clean
and free of dirt, grease, mildew and organic growth. Loose
paint needs to be removed.
STEP 2 : LIGHT REPAIRS - Secure raised nail heads, deck screws or
loose deck boards. Remove loose splinters and replace
severely damaged or rotting boards. Fill cracks with
RESTORE CRACK FILLER or similar acrylic, non-silicone filler.
Allow to dry.
STEP 3: APPLY RESTORE DECK START WOOD PRIMER - Using a
3/8” nap roller, saturate the roller cover and apply
RESTORE DECK START WOOD PRIMER generously
in a consistent pattern. Work to a wet edge at all times.
METHOD 2 – PREPARATION WITH DECK STRIPPER
STEP 1: REMOVE EXISTING STAIN/SEALER - Previously applied
coatings need to be removed completely. Strip the surface
using a deck brush and deck stripper. Then sand the
surface using 50 or 60 grit sand paper.
STEP 2 : CLEAN - Clean the surface using a deck brush and RESTORE
DECK & CONCRETE CLEANER. The surface must be clean
and free of dirt, grease, mildew and organic growth.
STEP 3: TEST SURFACE FOR APPLICATION - Conduct a splash test by
sprinkling water on at least four or more areas, both high
traffic and non-traffic areas. If the water absorbs rapidly into
the wood, the surface is ready to coat. If the water beads,
puddles or is not absorbed, the surface is not ready to coat
and requires more preparation. Follow STEPS 1 and 2 until
the water absorbs into the wood in all test areas.

STEP 4: LIGHT REPAIRS - Secure raised nail heads, deck screws or
loose deck boards. Remove loose splinters and replace
severely damaged or rotting boards. Fill cracks with
RESTORE CRACK FILLER or similar acrylic, non-silicone filler.
Allow to dry.
HOW TO APPLY
RESTORE 10X ADVANCED - APPLY TWO THICK COATS
STEP 1: Thoroughly stir material before and during project. When
using more than one container, combine all containers to
ensure color consistency.
STEP 2: Using either a 4” or 9” RESTORE ROLLER, saturate the roller
cover and roll in ONE DIRECTION with a slight downward
pressure to maintain texture and to push material into cracks
and voids. Work to a wet edge at all times. Avoid rolling back
into coated areas where drying has begun. Coat 1 to 2 boards
at a time.
STEP 3: After coating 1-2 boards, use a putty knife or other straight
edge to remove excess coating between boards.
STEP 4: Allow first coat to dry 4-6 hours. Extend drying time if the
surface is tacky or soft. Drying times may vary depending on
temperature and humidity.
STEP 5: Apply second coat using the same method as in STEP 2 and 3.
STEP 6: Allow second coat to dry 24 hours before light foot traffic and
48 hours before replacing furniture. If surface is tacky or soft,
extend drying time before putting heavy objects back in place.
Full cure to a hard finish will take approximately 7 days.
RESTORE 4X - APPLY TWO THICK COATS
STEP 1: Thoroughly stir material before and during project. When
using more than one container, combine all containers to
ensure color consistency.
STEP 2: Using either a 3/8”nap roller or a synthetic paint brush,
saturate the roller cover 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. Coat 1 to 2 boards
at a time.
STEP 3: After coating 1-2 boards, use a putty knife or other straight
edge to remove excess coating between boards.
STEP 4: Allow first coat to dry 4-6 hours. Extend drying time if the
surface is tacky or soft. Drying times may vary depending on
temperature and humidity.
STEP 5: Apply second coat using the same method as in STEP 2 and 3.
STEP 6: Allow second coat to dry 24 hours before light foot traffic and
3-5 days before replacing furniture. If surface is tacky or soft,
extend drying time before putting heavy objects back in place.
Full cure to a hard finish will take approximately 3-4 weeks.
RESTORE 2X - APPLY ONE THICK COAT
STEP 1: Thoroughly stir material before and during project. When
using more than one container, combine all containers to
ensure color consistency.
STEP 2: Using either 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, extend
drying time before putting heavy objects back in place. Full
cure to a hard finish will take approximately 7 days.
MAINTAINING THE LIFE OF YOUR SURFACE
• Touch ups will extend Restore finish.
• Yearly cleaning with RESTORE DECK & CONCRETE CLEANER.
• Use a plastic snow shovel to remove sleet, snow or ice.
