Backyard X-Scapes recommends 300 Clear UV for treating bamboo fencing and bamboo related products
for long life and a “new look” finish.
TWP Color Selection: 300 CLEAR*, 301 CEDARTONE, 302 REDWOOD, 303 DARK OAK, 304 BLACK WALNUT,
305 CAPE COD GRAY, 306 PRAIRIE GRAY, 311 CALIFORNIA REDWOOD, 315 LIGHT CEDAR

Product Description: A high performance, high solids, exterior wood finish, which may be applied to obtain a
stained or high build, deep gloss finish, depending on application procedures. The transparent natural wood
tone finishes supplement and enhance the natural beauty o the woods grain and color. The cured finish has
superior UV, water and abrasion resistance. The finish is also extremely resistant to attack from mildew and
wood destroying organisms. Although the product exhibits excellent penetration on new and old wood, the
cured finish is very resistant to airborne contamination and moisture due to its positive dry nature.
Product Uses: Perfect for old or new decks, outdoor furniture, spas, picnic tables, benches, bamboo,
playground equipment, decks, gazebos, shutters, doors, windows, and boats (teak).
SURFACE PREPARATION
New Wood: Sand wood smooth with 150 grit sandpaper or pad to open grain. Rinse surface with 4:1 mix of
water and household bleach or wood bleach (best for enhanced color). Rinse thoroughly with water and
allow a minimum of 48 hours of good drying conditions before applying TWP.
Old Wood: Rinse surface with 3:1 mix of water and household bleach to remove mildew; use wood bleach to
brighten wood and follow with 1500 p.s.i. power washer to remove dead surface fiber. Allow a minimum of
48 hours of good drying conditions before applying TWP.
Previously Stained Wood: Remove all of the old finish with power washing or paint stripper when necessary.
Failure to remove the existing finish will result in a blotchy TWP application due to uneven penetration and
discoloration of aged finish.
Method of Application: MIX THOROUGHLY BEFORE USING! Apply with brush, roll, spray, wiping cloth or
applicator pad. Do not apply below 50° F, if rain is anticipated with 48 hours or heavy dew is present.
