SURFACE PREPARATION:
The following steps and products are recommended
for best results: If you use a product such as
BEHR PREMIUM® Wood Stain & Finish Stripper No. 64 to
remove loose wood bers, latex, oil-based and 100% acrylic
coating on new or weathered wood, then you must use a
product such as BEHR PREMIUM® All-In-One Wood Cleaner
No. 63 to clean, brighten & neutralize wood. If you do not
use BEHR PREMIUM Wood Stain & Finish Sripper No. 64,
then use a product such as BEHR PREMIUM All-In-One Wood
Cleaner No. 63 to clean and brighten the wood surface and
to remove light to medium exterior stains caused by mold,
mildew, algae & fungus. Rinse thoroughly and allow to
dry before coating. On new wood, use a product such as
BEHR PREMIUM All-In-One Wood Cleaner No. 63 to remove
mill glaze and open the pores of the wood. Lightly sand to
remove remaining wood bers/fuzz.
WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint, you may
release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. Contact the National
