.PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.) .
Use in an area with adequate ventilation at all times. Apply
only when air (ambient) temperature is between 50-90°F
(10-32°C) and relative humidity is below 85% and when no
precipitation is expected within 24 hours. Use full strength.
Do not thin. Mix thoroughly before and during use. Apply
with a synthetic bristle brush, a ¼” short nap style roller, or
a pump style sprayer such as a Wolman BackSaver 2-
Gallon Sprayer.
Dip Treatment – Pre-treatment by dip method is
recommended prior to project construction. Immerse wood
in product for 3 minutes or longer. Any surface cut after
first treatment should be retreated.
Brush, Roller, Spray - If dipping is not possible, apply
only one (1) coat by brush, roller, or spray application.
Coat ends with three (3) or more consecutive coats to give
full protection. Allow at least one (1) hour between
applications.
Airless Spray – Airless spray is recommended for
existing wood installations or when dipping is not possible.
Use a 0.011-0.021 inch tip and 100 mesh filter screen at
250-500 psi. Adjust pressure when necessary to minimize
overspray and fogging. For best results, back brush along
the grain to remove any drips or runs, and any uneven
coverage or surface puddles before the project dries.
DRY & RECOAT TIMES
Dry and recoat times are based on 70ºF and 50% relative
humidity. Allow more time at cooler temperatures. Dries to
touch in 1 hour, dry to handle in 1 hour, and can be
walked on in 6-12 hours. Allow wood to dry at least 24
hours before installation or using the treated surface.
Allow a minimum of 24 hours before over-coating with
primer, paint or stain.
COVERAGE
One gallon will cover approximately 150-250 square feet,
depending on wood age and species, surface porosity and
method of application. Rough, weathered or highly porous
surfaces will absorb more. CAUTION: Wood surfaces
can be slippery when wet.
CLEAN-UP
Clean tools and equipment immediately after use with
warm soapy water. If product has dried, mineral spirits
should be used to clean tools and equipment. Clean up
overspray, drips and splashes from surrounding surfaces
with fresh water as soon as possible. Dried spatters or
spills can be removed with mineral spirits or lacquer
thinner.
