.PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.) .
APPLICATION
Before You Start – To minimize clean-up afterward, cover
surrounding landscape and exposed brick, glass,
aluminum, and vinyl siding with cardboard, plastic or cloth
tarps. Protect plants, shrubs and vegetation from
overspray. Important: This product imparts a black
color to wood. Perform a sample brush-out in an
inconspicuous area to confirm color satisfaction. If the
surface is in direct sunlight and hot to the touch, dampen
with fresh water to cool.
Use in an area with adequate ventilation at all times. Apply
only when air (ambient) temperature is between 50-90°F
(10-32°C) and relative humidity is below 85% and when no
precipitation is expected within 24 hours. Use full strength.
Do not thin. Mix thoroughly before and during use. Apply
by dip treatment, brush, roller, or pump sprayer.
Below Ground, Ground or Fresh Water Contact –
Seasoned (weathered) or green (new) wood may be
treated. Make sure the wood is free of bark, then immerse
in Woodlife CreoCoat for 12 to 48 hours or until the
sapwood is completely penetrated. If dipping is not
possible, two brush coats, roller or spray applications
should be applied. Allow at least one (1) hour between
applications. Make certain all areas are fully treated to get
the maximum benefits. Allow wood to dry for 24 hours
before installation.
Above Ground Contact – Best results will be obtained is
wood to be treated is immersed for 3 minutes or longer. If
dipping is not possible, two brush coats, roller or spray
application should be applied. Allow at least one (1) hour
between applications. Make certain all areas are fully
treated to get the maximum benefits. Allow wood to dry for
24 hours or longer after application of the preservative
prior to installation, painting and/or staining.
COVERAGE
One gallon will cover approximately 150-250 square feet,
depending on wood age and species, surface porosity and
method of application. Rough, weathered or highly porous
surfaces will absorb more.
CLEAN-UP
Clean tools and equipment immediately after use with
warm soapy water. If product has dried, mineral spirits
should be used to clean tools and equipment. Clean up
overspray, drips and splashes from surrounding surfaces
with fresh water as soon as possible. Dried spatters or
spills can be removed with mineral spirits or lacquer
thinner.
