Wolman

F&P
®
Finish And Preservative
is a premium performance, oil-base exterior wood finish
which provides exceptional UV protection, water repellency and
up to twice the fungicide of wood finishes of its kind, making it
an EPA-registered preservative that protects wood against rot
and decay. The preservative fungicide in F&P prevents decay-
producing fungi growth such as mold and mildew, even in
humid, well-shaded or habitually wet areas. Its powerful water
repellent provides long-term beading and exceeds Federal
specifications. And, it contains UV blocking pigment and
advanced UV absorbers to prevent premature color fading and
wood graying. Maximum protection against sun, water and
fungi damage makes F&P a COMPLETE protective finish for
ANY outdoor wood project.
Special Features
� Preservative Protects the Wood Itself from Mold,
Mildew & Staining Fungi rather than just the “coating film”
like most wood finishes of its kind.
� “Dual Action” UV Protection uses UV blockers and
absorbers to resist fading and wood graying.
� One Coat Coverage on Decks gets the job done fast.
Finished Look
F&P is available in transparent, natural wood colors that
impart a rich oil finish to wood. Transparent pigments
enhance the wood’s original color, and reveal its natural grain
and texture while it protects against graying from UV exposure.
3 Year Performance Guarantee
F&P Finish And Preservative will Prevent Water Damage,
Protect From Rot & Decay, and Resist Peeling & Blistering.
This premium “Finish and Preservative” not only resists UV
graying, it protects against water damage and wood rot and
decay, the worst deterioration of all. And, its penetrating oil-
base nature makes it resistant to peeling and blistering.
Recommended Uses
FOR EXTERIOR, ABOVE GROUND USE ONLY.
WOOD TYPES: Use on all species of pressure-treated
lumber, Cedar, Redwood, Poplar, Hickory and other North
American hardwoods.
User Tip – New generation (non-CCA) pressure-
treated lumber, when initially installed, may develop
pronounced mildew growth during the first few
months of weathering. To reduce or avoid mildew
stain on the coating film and immediately protect against
water damage, pre-treat with RainCoat
®
Clear Water
Repellent – Oil-Base Formula for 6 months or allow
wood to weather for 1 to 3 months before applying this
product.
PROJECTS: Use on new or existing decks, fencing, siding or
roofing shakes & shingles, clapboard, lap or log siding,
exterior doors, window frames and trim, boat docks,
boardwalks, outdoor furniture & decor, spa cabinets,
gazebos, arbors & trellises, storage sheds, play equipment/
swing sets and more.
Surface Preparation
The preparation process outlined below should be followed
to ensure adequate penetration, coloration and optimum
performance of this product.
Step 1 – Perform a Splash Test:
Regardless of whether wood is newly installed or pre-existing, it
is important to determine if there is a surface barrier present
which would prevent the proper penetration or adhesion of a
new coating. To conduct a Splash Test, sprinkle several
handfuls of water on a few distinct areas of the surface. If the
water absorbs rapidly, the surface is ready to be coated. If the
water beads, puddles or is not absorbed, an internal or external
barrier exists, and must be eliminated before coating can begin.
Step 2 – Prepare the Surface:
Use Wolman
®
DeckBrite
TM
(Powder Concentrate), Deck &
Fence Brightener (Liquid Concentrate) or DeckStrip
®
based
on WOOD CONDITION instructions below. After preparation,
repeat Splash Test to confirm water absorption.
NOTE: Chlorine bleach cleaners alone are not
recommended. These products degrade the wood
structure, interfering with penetration and adhesion
of protective coatings.
Wood Condition:
Uncoated, New Wood – If pressure-treated lumber,
beading or puddling water may indicate either a surface
barrier such as excess surface wax or excessive internal
moisture content. If new Cedar or Redwood, “mill glaze”
on the surface is likely. Use Wolman DeckBrite powder
concentrate or Deck & Fence Brightener liquid
concentrate according to label directions, then conduct
Splash Test again. If absorption is not improved, allow
wood to dry a minimum 30 days in temperate weather
(avg. 70 ° F, 50% humidity), longer in cooler or more humid
conditions. Test for absorption again before applying this
product.
