.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.
