DeckStrip® Stain & Finish Remover is a ready-to-use,

universal exterior wood stripper for all types of traditional stains

and pigmented finishes. In just 15 minutes, DeckStrip will cut

through and remove old, weathered coatings including solid or

semi-transparent stains, tinted water repellents or other toner-

type transparent finishes. Oil-based, water-based and tough-to-

.RECOMMENDED USES .

FOR EXTERIOR USE ONLY

Use DeckStrip to strip and restore outdoor wood decks, fences,

siding, shakes & shingles, boat docks & boardwalks, outdoor

furniture & décor, gazebos & arbors, play sets and more.

WOOD TYPES

DeckStrip is suitable for use on all types of wood including

pressure-treated lumber and tannin-rich woods such as Cedar,

Redwood and exotic hardwoods such as Mahogany, Ipé, Teak

and more.

Note: 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 staining allow wood to weather for 1 to 3 months before

applying a protective coating. To immediately protect against

water damage, prep the surface with DeckBrite and pre-treat

with Wolman RainCoat

Oil-based Clear Water Repellent. Allow

6 months before applying a protective coating.

SURFACE PREPARATION

Pre-rinse grass, plants and scrubs surrounding the wood

structure to be stripped cleaned. Cover foliage to protect against

product exposure. Mask off siding and cover all wood surfaces

(siding and flashing) to prevent corrosion. Cover any exposed

aluminum surfaces to prevent corrosion. Protect adjacent

concrete surfaces from rinse water. Sweep away any surface dirt

and debris. If the surface is in direct sunlight and hot to the touch,

dampen with fresh water to cool. Remove any standing water

before beginning application.

PRODUCT APPLICATION .

APPLY

For best results, begin project when the outside temperature is

above 50°F (10C) and when 24 hours of precipitation-free

weather is expected. No mixing is necessary. Do not mix with

any other cleaning products. On a horizontal surface, apply

with a synthetic bristle brush or mop. On a vertical surface (siding

or fencing), apply with a synthetic bristle brush or deep-nap roller,

working from the bottom to the top of the structure. A pump

sprayer (with no aluminum parts) may also be used, but Safe

Handling directions must be followed to avoid exposure to over-

spray. Work end-to-end on 5-10 boards (20 square foot areas) at

a time, in order to maintain adequate surface wetness to allow

concentration of the stripping effort. Allow the product to sit for

10-15 minutes, keeping wet with additional stripper as needed.

SCRUB or PRESSURE WASH

Briefly scrub surface with Wolman Woodworx Deck Brush or

other stiff , short-bristle brush, using moderate pressure or

pressure-wash using a 40° tip and 1,500-2,500 psi for pressure-

treated wood and hardwood. Use 500-1,000 psi for Cedar and

Redwood. Move lengthwise with boards to avoid cut marks

across grain. Either technique helps ensure old surface is entirely

dissolved and removed.

RINSE

If pressure washing is not employed, after brushing, rinse

thoroughly with a garden hose, using the highest nozzle

pressure setting available. When dry, surface should appear

clean, bright and free of previous coating. Stubborn spots or

surfaces with build-up or multiple layers of coating may require a

second application. When finished stripping, rinse grass and

plant areas thoroughly.

CAUTION: Bare wood and/or coated surfaces can become

slippery when wet. Use caution when walking on wet surfaces.

SPECIAL NOTE: After stripping Cedar, Redwood or exotic

hardwoods, black tannin stains may rise to the surface and give

wood an overall darkened appearance. If this occurs, treat the

affected areas with Wolman Deck & Fence Brightener liquid

concentrate per label directions to restore the natural wood color.

DeckStrip is not designed to remove tannin bleed stains.

COVERAGE

DeckStrip 1.32 gallon container contents will cover approximately

200 square feet depending on coating type, surface porosity, and

method of application. One (1) gallon will cover approximately

150 square feet depending on coating type, surface porosity and

method of application.

DRY TIME

Allow the wood to dry thoroughly before applying a water-based

finish and at least 24 hours before applying an oil-based finish.
