How to Prepare and Coat a Wood Surface with Advanced DECKOVER
®
Coating
Preparing an Uncoated Wood Surface
Uncoated wood may still have mill glaze or loose wood fibers which can cause a coating to fail. The PREMIUM PREP
Products will prepare the uncoated surface, allow the Advanced DECKOVER coating to fully adhere to the wood surface,
and ensure a longer lasting, more durable finish. Proper cleaning will help remove dead and loose wood fibers from
the wood surface which is especially important for aged wood.
For Best Results
Before applying Advanced DECKOVER coating to a wood surface, be sure to use
BEHR

uncoated or coated, the BEHR PREMIUM PREP PRODUCTS will allow the newly
applied coating to fully adhere to the wood surface and will ensure a longer lasting,
more durable finish.
