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 without any previous exterior stain or coating must be
thoroughly cleaned prior to application with a deck cleaner (like those in
the Thompson’s® WaterSeal® deck cleaner line) applied according to
label directions and cautions.
• For surfaces previously coated, remove all existing loose, flaking or
peeling stain. Failure to do so will result in continued flaking and peeling.
For best results, remove all existing exterior stain or coating with
Thompson’s® WaterSeal® Maximum Strength Deck Stripper applied
according to label directions and cautions.
• If surface is damp or wet from cleaning or weather, allow the surface to
dry thoroughly (a minimum of 48 hours) prior to applying for optimal
penetration.
APPLICATION
1. Do not mix with other waterproofing products; variations in the final
