.PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.)  . 
Professional Contractor Method 
Pre-treatment by dip method before installation is 
recommended – see Recommended Coverage and follow 
directions. For wood structures already installed, apply 
with pump or HVLP sprayer. The Wolman DeckHand
TM
 or 
DeckMate
® 
HVLP Portable Sprayers are recommended. 
For best results, back-brush uneven coverage or puddles. 
Pre-treatment by dip method 
Pre-treatment by dip method before installation is 
recommended – follow directions below: 
For Below Ground, Ground Contact or Fresh Water 
Contact: Make certain the wood is free of bark, then 
immerse in product for 12 to 48 hours or until the sapwood 
is completely penetrated. 
For Above Ground Contact: Immerse wood in product 
for 3 minutes or longer. If dipping is not possible, two (2) 
brush coats, roller or spray applications should be applied. 
Make sure all surface areas are fully coated to get 
maximum benefits. Allow at least one (1) hour between 
applications. 
To estimate total number of gallons required for the 
job, divide the total square footage by 100. One gallon will 
cover approximately 100-300 sq. ft., depending on wood 
age and species, surface porosity and method of 
application. Rough or weathered 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. Clean up over-spray, drips or splashes on 
surrounding surfaces with fresh water as soon as possible. 
Dried spatters or spills can be removed with mineral spirits 
or lacquer thinner.  
PRECAUTIONS 
Wood treated with this preservative should not be 
used where it may come into contact with food, feed 
or potable water. 
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL 
Store in a secure, well-ventilated area protected from 
extreme temperatures. Do not transfer to unmarked 
containers. Keep container closed when not in use. Do not 
contaminate water, food or feed by storage or disposal. 
Open dumping is prohibited. See product label and 
Material Safety Data Sheet for complete precautionary 
statements, first aid, safety and handling, storage and 
disposal instructions.
