PREPARATION

†

(The following steps and products are required.)

Be sure to have

a source for water, hose with nozzle and stiff bristle broom or brush

and a product such as BEHR PREMIUM

NO. 63

All-In-One Wood

Cleaner. DO NOT THIN PRODUCT. Do not apply in direct sunlight or on

hot surfaces. Dampen nearby foliage with water and cover with plastic

drop cloths. Wear protective clothing, goggles, acid resistant gloves,

and NIOSH approved respirator. Conduct a small test patch in an

inconspicuous area to ensure product performance. Prevent all rinse

solution from entering storm drains.

APPLICATION

Must apply between 40-90˚ F (4.5-32˚ C). Pour BEHR PREMIUM NO. 64

Wood Stain & Finish Stripper directly onto surface and apply liberally

using a nylon/poly brush or roller. Natural bristle brushes or lambs wool

applicators are not recommended. Due to product thickness, DO NOT

use pump, paint or other sprayers. Product will clog tip, resulting in

leaking and dripping. Always keep surface wet by misting with water

and re-apply NO. 64 if drying occurs. Finish will begin to lift from the

surface. Repeat process as needed to keep the surface wet during the

removal period. Most deteriorated ﬁnishes will start to lift after about

5-45 minutes. The coating should easily rinse off when ready. When the

ﬁnish starts to lift, scrub the surface using a stiff bristle broom or brush.

Rinse thoroughly with water from garden hose using nozzle at normal

pressure, or use a pressure washer at a low setting (500-1200 PSI).

DO NOT USE HIGH PRESSURE as this may harm the wood. If some of the

old ﬁnish remains on the surface, repeat application procedure or spot

sand as needed. Follow up with a product such as BEHR PREMIUM

NO. 63 All-In-One Wood Cleaner to remove stains, rejuvenate

natural wood color and to neutralize the stripping action.

DRY TIME

Surfaces must be thoroughly dry before applying any type of new ﬁnish,

except those ﬁnishes that can be applied to dampened wood. Allow the

wood to dry for a minimum of 24 hours in warm, dry weather.

DISPOSAL

Biodegradable. Properly dispose of all soiled rags. To recycle or

properly dispose of paint in your community, contact your household

refuse collection service. PROTECT FROM FREEZING.
