unsealed exterior wood surfaces (0-10 years exposure) such as:
Decks, Railings, Shakes, Shingles, Siding, Roofs, Fences and Wood
Patio Furniture.
PREPARATION
(The following steps and products are required.) Use a product such
as BEHR PREMIUM
®
NO. 64 Wood Stain & Finish Stripper to remove
loose wood fibers, latex, oil-based and 100% acrylic coatings on new
or weathered wood. BEHR PREMIUM NO. 63 All-In-One Wood Cleaner
MUST be used following NO. 64 to clean, brighten & neutralize wood.
When NO. 64 is not needed, use a product such as NO. 63 to clean
and brighten the wood surface and to remove light to medium exterior
stains caused by mold, mildew, algae & fungus. Rinse thoroughly and
allow to dry before coating. On new wood, use a product such as NO.
63 to remove mill glaze and open the pores of the wood. Lightly sand to
remove remaining wood fibers/fuzz.
APPLICATION
(For best results, a pad applicator is recommended over large
deck areas.) Must apply between 40-90˚ F (4.5-32˚ C). Do not use if
rain is expected within 24 hours. The wood surface must be completely
dry before application. Intermix multiple containers to ensure color
uniformity. DO NOT THIN PRODUCT. Stir product occasionally throughout
application. Test product for penetration and color on a small hidden
area before proceeding. Use a nylon/polyester brush for areas requiring
more accuracy. Use of rollers should be limited to rough surfaces
only. Use 3/8” nap or longer when appropriate. A high quality pump
sprayer with a variable tip or an airless sprayer with a .015 - .019” tip
may be used. Work in small sections lightly saturating the surface and
immediately back-brush or use pad applicator to eliminate puddling,
remove excess and evenly distribute the stain. Maintain a wet edge
when applying. 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. Avoid applying stain too heavily. Two thin
coats required. For optimum performance, coat all six sides of wood.
DRY TIME
1-2 hours before recoat. Allow 72 hours for full cure.
