PREPARATION
†
(The following steps and products are required.) Use a product such
as BEHR PREMIUM
®
NO. 64 Wood Stain & Finish Stripper to remove
loose wood bers, latex, oil-based and 100% acrylic coatings on new
or weathered wood. 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
(For best results, a pad applicator is recommended over large
deck areas.) 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.
Intermix multiple containers to ensure color uniformity. DO NOT THIN
PRODUCT. Stir product occasionally throughout application. Test product
for penetration and color on a small hidden area before proceeding. Use
a nylon/polyester brush for areas requiring more accuracy. Use of rollers
should be limited to rough surfaces only. Use 3/8" nap or longer when
appropriate. A high quality pump sprayer with a variable tip or an airless
sprayer with a .015 - .019" (60 mesh lter) tip may be used. Work in
small sections lightly saturating the surface and immediately back-
brush or use pad applicator to eliminate puddling, remove excess and
evenly distribute the stain. Maintain a wet edge when applying. 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 required.
For optimum performance, coat all six sides of wood.
DRY TIME
1-2 hours before recoat. Allow 72 hours for full cure.
