Previously Coated, Weathered Wood – If wood is coated

with a clear sealer or lightly pigmented finish and little to no

pigment remains, Wolman DeckBrite powder concentrate

may be used to restore the surface, remove residual

coating/water repellency and prepare the wood for re-

coating.

Product Preparation

Based on mixing directions listed below, combine DeckBrite

powder concentrate with warm water to make cleaning

solution. Each gallon of solution cleans approximately 150 sq.

ft., depending on wood age, species, surface porosity and

method of application.

Recommended Application Method

Homeowner/DIY’er:

On Horizontal Surfaces: Apply solution with a pump

sprayer, brush, mop or roller.

On Vertical Surfaces: Apply solution with a pump sprayer

or deep-nap roller, working from the bottom to the top of the

structure.

Professional Contractor:

On Horizontal or Vertical Surfaces: Apply solution with a

pump sprayer or airless sprayer.

Application Instructions

Before You Start – Replace rotted, extremely weathered or

warped boards. Make sure entire wood surface is dry and free

of dust, dirt and debris. If the surface is hot to the touch or in

direct sunlight, dampen with fresh water to cool.

Weather Conditions – Apply when outside temperatures

are above

Application Steps –

Step 1 – Mix

Mix ¾ cup powder per one (1) gallon lukewarm tap water.

Solution will foam and appear bright blue. Stir occasionally

and wait for approximately 5 minutes for powder to dissolve.

If using cold water, a few more minutes may be necessary.

When blue color disappears, powder is completely

dissolved, and DeckBrite solution is ready to apply. Use

within 6 hours of mixing. Do not mix with any other products.

Step 2 – Apply

Pre-wet surface with fresh water. Then, working on 5-10

boards (20 sq. ft.) at a time to maintain optimum surface

wetness, apply solution and let sit and foam for 10 minutes.

If solution dries prematurely, keep it wet with additional

solution as needed.

Step 3 – Brush or Pressure Wash

Briefly scrub surface with Wolman WOODWORX

Deck

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

pressure

Pressure wash, using a

tip and 1,500-2,500 PSI for

pressure-treated wood and hardwood, 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

removed.

Step 4 – Rinse

If pressure washing is not employed, after brushing, rinse

thoroughly with a garden hose, using the highest pressure

nozzle setting available. On a vertical surface, continually

rinse brightened areas to avoid streaking. Rinse any wood

fibers off surrounding surfaces immediately. When dry,

wood surface should appear clean, bright and free of mildew

and algae stains.

Recommended Number of Coats – APPLY ONE (1)

COAT, and allow to sit and foam for ENTIRE recommended

time of 10 minutes. Heavily weathered, extremely dirty or

badly stained areas may need a second application.

CAUTION: BARE WOOD OR COATED SURFACES CAN

BECOME SLIPPERY WHEN WET. Use caution when

walking on wet surfaces.

Coverage Rate – Depending on wood age and species,

surface porosity, method of application, one (1) gallon of

solution covers

approximately

150 sq. ft.

Dry Time – Allow wood to dry thoroughly before applying a

water-base finish, and at least 24 hours before applying an

oil-base finish.

Clean Up – Clean tools and equipment after use with water.

Storage – Store unused powder in the closed, original labeled

container.
