Instructions / Assembly

 Do not use in below grade application where water pressure is a problem or on
painted or recently stained surfaces.
 DO NOT USE AS AN ADDITIVE TO PAINT.
 Do not freeze. Do not store below 32°F.
SURFACE PREPARATION
 WARNING! Removal of old paint by sanding, scraping or other means may
generate dust or fumes that contain lead. Exposure to lead dust or fumes may
cause brain damage or other adverse health effects, especially in children or
pregnant women. Controlling exposure to lead or other hazardous substances
requires the use of proper protective equipment, such as a properly fitted
respirator (NIOSH approved) and proper containment and cleanup. For more
information, call the National Lead Information Center at 1-800-424-LEAD (in US)
or contact your local health authority.
 Surfaces and substrates must be free of all mildew stains, dust, dirt, oil, soot,
grease and other contaminants.
 Surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned prior to application with a deck cleaner (like
those in the Thompson’s
®
WaterSeal
®
cleaner line) applied according to label
directions and cautions.
 Remove all existing loose, flaking or peeling stain. Failure to do so will result in
continued flaking and peeling.
APPLICATION
 Do not mix with other waterproofing products; variations in the final appearance
of the surface being treated may result.
 Do not thin.
 Shake well – intermix all cans (of the same color) to be used to assure color
uniformity. Shake or mix thoroughly before and occasionally during use.
 A small trial patch should be tried before application over the entire surface. Final
color appearance differs from initial application.
 Apply using an exterior paint pad, brush, roller, dipping or compression driven
sprayer. If over applied, remove excess before it dries by redistributing to dry
areas or wiping off.
 Keep the leading edge wet and distribute waterproofer evenly. This will help
avoid lap marks and keep the color uniform.
