PREPARATION
†
(The following steps and products are required.) Use a product such
as BEHR PREMIUM
®
NO. 64 Wood Stain & Finish Stripper on failing areas
to remove latex, oil-based and 100% acrylic coatings. 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
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. No primer needed on most woods. However, Redwood,
Cedar, Cypress and other “bleeding” woods contain water soluble
extractives which may cause discoloration of white and pastel colors;
therefore prime the above type woods with one coat of a product such
as BEHR PREMIUM PLUS
®
NO. 436 Exterior Multi-Surface Primer &
Sealer. See label for additional instructions. Intermix multiple containers
to ensure color uniformity. Stir product occasionally throughout
application. Use a 3/8” nap roller, nylon/polyester brush, pad applicator
or airless sprayer. Airless spray is recommended for experienced
applicators only; use a .015 - .019” tip. If thinning is required, thin with
water at a rate of no more than 1/2 pint per gallon. Maintain a wet edge
when applying. Always back-brush and 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 recommended. For optimum performance,
coat all six sides of wood.
