Railings, Shakes, Shingles, Siding, Roofs, Fences, Wood Patio Furniture
and Composites.
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 bers/fuzz.
APPLICATION
Must apply between 35-90˚ F and temperature must stay above 35°
F for the next 12 hours. Coating will resist rain after 4 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"
(60 mesh lter) 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.
DRY TIME
1-2 hours before recoat. Wait 24-48 hours before light foot trafc.
72 hours for full cure.
