SURFACE PREPARATION:
The following steps and products are recommended
for best results: If you use a product such as BEHR
PREMIUM® Wood Stain & Finish Stripper No. 64 to remove
loose wood bers, latex, oil-based and 100% acrylic
coatings on new weathered wood, then you must use a
product such as BEHR PREMIUM® All-In-One Wood Cleaner
No. 63 to clean, brighten & neutralize wood. If you do not
use a product such as BEHR PREMIUM Wood Stain & Finish
Stripper No. 64, then use a product such as BEHR PREMIUM
All-In-One Wood Cleaner No. 63 to clean and brighten the
wood surface and to remove light to medium stains caused
by mold, mildew, algae & fungus. On new wood, use a
product such as BERH PREMIUM All-In-One Wood Cleaner
No. 63 to remove mill glaze and open the pores of the wood.
Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry before coating. Lightly
sand to remove remaining wood bers/fuzz.
WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint, you
may release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD
DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE,
ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD
ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a NIOSH-approved respirator
to control lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a HEPA
vacuum and a wet mop. Before you start, nd out how to
protect yourself and your family by contacting the National
Lead Information Center at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to
www.epa.gov/lead.
CLEANUP/DISPOSAL:
Clean all tools and equipment with warm, soapy water. Do
not dispose of this product down a drain. If spilled, contain
material and remove with an inert absorbent. Dispose of
contaminated absorbent, container and unused product
in accordance with all current federal, state and local
regulations. For recycling or disposal of empty containers,
unused product and soiled rags, contact your household
refuse collection service.
CAUTIONS/LIMITATIONS:
• Protect from freezing.
• Test product for color on a small hidden area before
proceeding.
• Avoid applying stain too heavily. Over-application of
DECKPLUS TRANSPARENT WATERPROOFING WOOD FINISH
results in lm forming on the wood surface and therefore
subject to peeling and aking.
• Stained surfaces may become slippery when wet.
• Shelf life under normal conditions is 2 years (unopened
containers).
• For best results, apply when air, material and surface
temperatures are between 40°F and 90°F. Avoid applying
stain in direct sunlight or to hot surfaces. Temperatures
above 90°F can cause the paint to dry too fast. Do not
apply if rain is expected within 24 hours of product
application.
