Porches and Boat Docks. Also great for concrete surfaces such as Pool
Decks, Patios and Sidewalks. Do not use on drivable surfaces such as
garage floors and driveways.
PREPARATION
(Proper surface preparation is required.) All surfaces must be clean,
sound, dry and free of any dirt, oil, and grease before application.
Wood Surfaces: Replace rotting or unstable boards and remove loose
splinters. Remove mildew stains, dirt, oil and grease with a product such as
BEHR PREMIUM
®
No. 63 All-In-One Wood Cleaner prior to application. Use a
product such as BEHR PREMIUM No. 64 Wood Stain & Finish Stripper (must
be followed by No. 63) to remove all loose wood fibers, peeling paint/stain
or deteriorated coatings prior to application of Textured DECKOVER coating.
On new wood, use No. 63 to remove mill glaze and open the pores of the
wood. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry before coating. Concrete Surfaces:
Avoid areas that are structurally weak or subject to hydrostatic pressure
above 8 psi. Allow new surfaces to cure for 30 days. Use a product such as
BEHR PREMIUM No. 992 Concrete & Masonry Paint Stripper to strip peeling
coating. Use a product such as BEHR PREMIUM No. 991 Concrete & Masonry
Cleaner & Etcher to clean and etch uncoated concrete or No. 990 Concrete &
Masonry Degreaser & Cleaner on sound, coated surfaces prior to coating.
APPLICATION
Use product when air and surface temperatures are between 50-90˚ F
(10-32˚ C). During application, avoid exposure of container to direct sunlight.
Do not use if rain is expected within 24 hours. Avoid painting if humidity is
expected to be greater than 80%. Intermix multiple containers to ensure
color uniformity. Stir product occasionally throughout application. DO NOT
THIN PRODUCT. For nail holes and cracks up to 1/4", completely fill in
with Textured DECKOVER coating using a nylon/polyester brush and
allow to dry prior to rolling. Deep nail holes and cracks may require
additional filling. For edges, corners and in between wood boards, apply
using a nylon/polyester brush. Use pressure while rolling and apply a
generous, even coat using a 1/2" nap roller. For a smoother texture, use a
brush or thinner nap roller (i.e. 1/4"). For vertical surfaces such as railings,
use a nylon/polyester brush or roller and apply two thin coats at a spread
rate of 400 sq. ft. per gallon. Do not use with airless sprayer. For optimum
performance, film uniformity, leveling and to cover cracks, a second coat
MUST be applied. Maintain a wet edge when applying.
DRY TIME
4-6 hours before recoat. Dries to touch in 4 hours. Wait 24-48 hours before
light foot traffic. 72 hours to full cure. Additional dry time may be needed in
cooler temperatures and higher humidity. Premature heavy traffic will cause
coating failure.
DISPOSAL
For disposal of empty containers and unused product contact your household
refuse collection service.
