PRECAUTIONS & TEMPERATURE SAFEGUARDS
DO NOT APPLY IF RAIN IS EXPECTED WITHIN 24 HOURS
OF APPLICATION. Apply when air and surface temperature is
between 50-90°F (10-32°C) and will remain between 50° and
90°F for at least 24 hours after application.
APPLICATION
ONE THICK COAT OF ROCKSOLID 6X DECK COAT IS
REQUIRED.
Thoroughly mix the material before and during project. When
using more than one container, combine all containers to ensure
color consistency.
Using a 9” RockSolid 6X Roller cover, saturate the roller cover
and apply generously back and forth. 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.
After coating 1-2 boards, use a putty knife or other straight edge
to remove excess coating between boards. Difficult areas such
as warped or cupped boards will require rolling across the
narrow width of the board as well as the length to ensure
complete coverage.
Allow 4-6 hours to dry to touch. Allow to dry 24 hours before light
foot traffic and replacing furniture. If the surface is tacky or soft,
extend the drying time before putting heavy objects back in place.
Full cure to a hard finish will take approximately 7 days. Drying
times may vary depending on temperature and humidity.
COVERAGE
Up to 80 square feet per gallon (volume after tinting). One coat is
required. Actual coverage may vary based on wood type, age
and surface porosity.
CLEAN-UP
Use mild soap and water.
KEEP FROM FREEZING. CLOSE CONTAINER AFTER
EACH USE TO PRESERVE PRODUCT.
CAUTION: Exterior horizontal surfaces, coated or uncoated,
exposed to sun and warm temperatures can create surface
temperatures not suitable for bare feet or animal paws.
