SURFACE PREPARATION
†
(Proper Surface Preparation is Required.)
•
To remove failing coatings or to remove loose 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.
