Technical Specifications

Uncoated, Weathered Wood – Before coating, weathered
wood must be thoroughly cleaned to remove ground-in dirt,
mildew, mold and algae stains, gray, UV-damaged wood
fibers and any other surface contaminants. According to label
guidelines, select the appropriate product for your particular
wood type, either Wolman DeckBrite powder concentrate or
Deck & Fence Brightener liquid concentrate. Follow usage
directions on label, then conduct Splash Test again.
Previously Coated, Weathered Wood – Previous coatings
should be removed before application of this product. If a
pigmented oil or latex coating exists, use Wolman DeckStrip
®
Stain & Finish Remover according to label directions to
prepare the surface. Acrylic coatings may require a paint
stripper. If coated with a clear sealer or lightly pigmented
finish and little to no pigment remains, Wolman DeckBrite
powder concentrate or Deck & Fence Brightener liquid
concentrate may be used to restore the surface and remove
residual coating/water repellency. Based on label guidelines,
select the appropriate wood cleaner for your particular wood
type.
