..PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.) .
Perform a Splash Test
To conduct a Splash Test, sprinkle several handfuls of water on
a few distinct areas of the bare wood surface. If the water
absorbs rapidly, the surface is ready to be coated. If the water
beads, puddles or is not absorbed, an internal or external barrier
exists, and must be eliminated before staining can begin. Repeat
using a stripper and/or cleaner and conduct splash test again.
Houses painted before 1978 may contain lead. WARNING! If
you scrape, sand or remove old paint from any surface, you may
release lead paint dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO
LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS
BRAIN DAMAGE; ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT
WOMEN SHOULD ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a NIOSH
approved respirator to control lead exposure. Clean up carefully
with a HEPA vacuum and a wet mop. Before you start, find out
how to protect yourself and your family by contacting the National
Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to
www.epa.gov/lead.
PRECAUTIONS & TEMPERATURE SAFEGUARDS
DO NOT APPLY IF RAIN IS EXPECTED WITHIN 24 HOURS
OF APPLICATION. Apply when air and surface temperature is
between 50-90°F (10-32°C) and will remain between 50° and
90°F for at least 2 hours after application.
APPLICATION
ONE LIBERAL COAT OF RAINCOAT ONE COAT
TRANSPARENT STAIN IS REQUIRED.
Before you start: Prior to project start date, perform a trial brush-
out in several inconspicuous areas to ensure the desired color
and look is achieved. Color appearance will vary depending on
wood species, age and surface porosity. Replace rotted,
extremely weathered or warped boards. This product will not
repair existing wood damage such as cracking, splintering or
splitting. Make sure entire wood surface is dry and free of dust,
dirt and debris. Cover all surrounding areas not intended to be
coated. Intermix multiple gallons of the same product color in a
separate container to ensure a uniform color. Mix thoroughly
before use and stir with a lifting motion periodically during
application. Do not tint, dilute or mix this product with any other
product.
Using either a ⅜” nap roller, a short nap stain pad, a synthetic
paint brush or a pump-style sprayer, saturate and apply
generously in a consistent pattern. Work to a wet edge at all
times. Avoid rolling back into coated areas where drying has
begun. To minimize lapping, always work from end to end on a
few boards at a time, maintaining a wet edge. On horizontal
surfaces, stain board ends and all 4 sides whenever possible to
protect against moisture absorption.
..PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.) .
DRY TIMES
Based on 70°F (21°C) and 50% relative humidity. Dries the
touch in 1 hour. APPLY ONLY ONE COAT. Allow to dry 24
hours before light foot traffic and 48 hour before replacing
furniture or heavy foot traffic. If the surface is tacky or soft, extend
the drying time before putting heavy objects back in place. Full
cure to a hard finish will take approximately 7 days. Avoid
dragging furniture across the surface. On newly stained surfaces,
allow 7 days for the coating to cure before washing.
CAUTION: BARE WOOD OR COATED SURFACES CAN
BECOME SLIPPERY WHEN WET. Use caution when walking
on wet surfaces.
COVERAGE
Approximately 225 square feet per gallon. Depends on the
applicator and the porosity of the wood.
CLEAN-UP
Clean up drips or spatters with water IMMEDIATELY, as
dried stain is very difficult to remove. Clean up tools and
equipment immediately after use with mild soap and fresh water.
If dried, use mineral spirits or lacquer thinner.
STORAGE
KEEP FROM FREEZING. Close container when not in use.
Dispose of empty cans or unused portion in accordance with
local, state and federal regulations.
MAINTENANCE
It is recommended to periodically clean using Wolman Deck
Wash or a mild, non-abrasive soap and water mixture to keep
the coating grime-free and looking its best.
