..PRODUCT APPLICATION .
SURFACE PREPARATION
The surface preparation process described below should be
followed to achieve optimum performance of this product.
REGARDLESS OF AGE OR SURFACE CONDITION,
FAILURE TO FOLLOW ONE OF THESE PREPARATION
METHODS WILL RESULT IN POOR ADHESION AND
POSSIBLE COATINGS FAILURE. Note: 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.
..PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.) .
SURFACE PREPARATION (cont).
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 or 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).
UNCOATED, NEW WOOD
New wood decks need to weather at least 6 months before
application. After wood has weathered 6 months, it is important
to open wood pores and remove any surface barrier which would
prevent the proper penetration or adhesion of a new coating. If
pressure-treated lumber, excess surface wax or excessive
internal moisture content may be present. If new wood is Cedar
or Redwood, “mill glaze” on the surface is a common condition.
Eliminate these barriers by using either Wolman DeckBrite or
Deck & Fence Brightener. According to label guidelines, select
the appropriate product for your particular wood type, follow
usage directions on label, rinse and let dry. After wood is rinsed
and dry, conduct a Splash Test (described below).
