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 BEHR PREMIUM

open the pores of the wood. Rinse thoroughly and allow
to dry before coating. Lightly sand to remove remaining
wood bers/fuzz.
