CAUTION: Stained surfaces may become slippery when wet.
WHERE TO USE
• Recommended for properly prepared new to heavily weathered or

Railings, Shakes, Shingles, Siding, Roofs, Fences, Wood Patio Furniture
and Composites.
SURFACE PREPARATION
†
(Proper Surface Preparation is Required.)
• To remove failing coatings or to remove loose wood bers, use a product
such as BEHR PREMIUM® No. 64 Wood Stain & Finish Stripper followed
by BEHR PREMIUM No. 63 All-In-One Wood Cleaner to neutralize the wood.
• When stripping is not needed, the surface MUST be prepared with a
product such as No. 63 Wood Cleaner to remove mill glaze and clean the
wood surface.
• After using either No. 64 or No. 63, rinse thoroughly with a garden
hose or pressure washer. When rinsing with a pressure washer, use the
broadest spray pattern while keeping the nozzle at least 24” away from
the surface.
• Allow the area to dry at least 24 hours before coating.
• If needed, lightly sand to remove any wood bers/fuzz.
• See behr.com for additional product information.
APPLICATION
• Must apply between 40-90˚ F.
• Avoid applying in direct sunlight or to hot surfaces.
• Do not use if rain is expected within 24 hours.
• The surface must be completely dry before application.
• No primer needed on most woods. However, Redwood, Cedar, Cypress
and other “bleeding” woods may cause discoloration of white and pastel
colors; therefore prime the above type woods with one coat of a product
such as BEHR PREMIUM PLUS® No. 436 Exterior Multi-Surface Primer
and Sealer. See label for additional instructions.
• For multiple gallons, combine into larger container for color uniformity.
• Stir product occasionally throughout application.
• Test product for penetration and color on a small hidden area before
proceeding.
• Use a 3/8” nap roller, nylon/polyester brush, pad applicator or airless
sprayer (.015 - .019” tip, 60 mesh lter).
• If thinning is required, thin with water at a rate of no more than 1/2 pint
per gallon.
• Maintain a wet edge when applying.
• Always back-brush and apply product end to end or to board lengths to
prevent lap marks.
• Over application of stain will lead to surface failure including peeling
and cracking.
• For optimum performance, coat all accessible sides.
• Two thin coats recommended.
DRY TIME
• 1-2 hours before recoat. Wait 24-48 hours before light foot trafc. 72
hours for full cure.
• Additional dry time may be needed in cooler temperatures and higher
humidity.

• For disposal of empty containers and unused product contact your
household refuse collection service.
