PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.)
SURFACE PREPARATION (cont.)
UNCOATED, NEW WOOD(cont.)
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).
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
wood 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 WOLMAN RAINCOAT ONE
COAT WATER-BASED CLEAR SEALER IS REQUIRED.
Before you start: 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. 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. Note: This product
may become cloudy at low temperatures. To restore clarity,
allow to warm and then mix thoroughly. This product has a
slight haze appearance when applied but dries clear.
Thoroughly mix the material before and during use.
PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.)
APPLICATION (cont.)
Before you start (cont.): 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.
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
sealed 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 200 square feet per gallon. Depends on the
applicator and the porosity of the wood.
CLEAN-UP
Clean up drips or spatters with mild soap and water
IMMEDIATELY as dried sealer is very difficult to
remove. Clean up tools and equipment immediately after
use with mineral spirits.
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.
