DuraStain

One Coat Semi-Transparent Stain is a
one coat, water-based exterior wood stain designed to
provide excellent color retention, adhesion and protection
against UV graying, water damage and mildew. DuraStain
decorates wood with a deeply pigmented color in a matte
finish that enhances wood texture and provides semi-
transparent hide coverage over new or previously coated,
weathered wood.
The hydrophobic technology properties and excellent water
repellency helps maximize resistance to wood cracking,
checking, splitting and warping. DuraStain is suitable for use
on all types of pressure treated lumber, Cedar, Redwood,
Poplar, Hickory and other North American hardwoods.
Use DuraStain to beautify and protect decks, porches,
fences, shake, shingle and clapboard siding, boat decks,
boardwalks, outdoor furniture, gazebos, arbors and trellises,
storage sheds and more.
DO NOT USE ON ANY CONCRETE SURFACE. Do not use
on driveways, garages or other areas with vehicular traffic.
TINT BASE MUST BE TINTED BEFORE USE
Wolman DuraStain One Coat can be applied using a ⅜”
nap roller, a short nap stain pad or a synthetic paint
brush.

PRODUCT APPLICATION
SURFACE PREPARATION
REGARDLESS OF AGE OR SURFACE CONDITION, FAILURE
TO FOLLOW ONE OF THESE PREPARATION METHODS WILL
RESULT IN POOR ADHESION AND POSSIBLE COATINGS
FAILURE. NEW AND SEALED WOOD DECKS NEED TO
WEATHER AT LEAST 6 MONTHS BEFORE APPLICATION.
Prepare the surface with Wolman DeckStrip
®
or
DeckStrip ASR, then use Wolman DeckBrite
™
or Deck &
Fence Brightener based on wood condition described
below.
After preparation, conduct a Splash Test on bare wood
(described below) to confirm water absorption before
applying this product.
PREVIOUSLY COATED, WEATHERED WOOD
For best results, previous coatings such as paints, solid color
and semi-transparent stains, transparent stains, toners or
clear sealers in a weathered state, should be stripped to
create a bare, sound surface for maximum coating adhesion
and durability. To remove oil, alkyd or latex, water base
stains, use Wolman DeckStrip Stain & Finish Remover. For
100% acrylic solid or semi-solid stains, use Wolman
DeckStrip ASR Acrylic Stain Remover.
Thoroughly clean with Wolman DeckBrite or Deck & Fence
Brightener to remove chalky paint residue, embedded dirt,
mildew and other contaminants, residual coating material
and water repellents. According to label guidelines, select
the appropriate cleaning product for your wood type, use
according to directions and rinse with a power washer for
best results. When dry, scrape off and sand any remaining
loose flaking or peeling coating using 50 or 60 grit
sandpaper. After wood is dry, conduct a splash test
(described below).
UNCOATED, WEATHERED WOOD
Before staining, bare, weathered wood must be thoroughly
cleaned to remove ground-in dirt, mildew, mold and algae
stains, gray, UV damaged wood fibers any other surface
contaminants. According to label guidelines, select the
appropriate product for your particular wood type, either
Wolman DeckBrite or Deck & Fence Brightener; then follow
usage directions on the label, rinse and let dry. After wood is
rinsed and dry, conduct a Splash Test (described below).
