DESCRIPTION AND USES .
Rust-Oleum
®
Porch & Floor Coating is an oil-modified acrylic
designed to provide excellent color retention, adhesion and
protection against UV rays, water damage and mildew on both
wood and concrete surfaces. This acrylic formula provides
excellent durability and flexibility, with excellent water repellency
which helps maximize resistance to scuffing, fading, cracking
and peeling. Porch & Floor Coating is recommended for interior
and exterior wood and concrete surfaces. It is not recommended
for use on garage floors.
Use on all species of pressure-treated lumber, pine, fir, Cypress,
Cedar, Redwood, poplar, hickory and other North American
hardwoods. It is suitable for weathered wood to hide the signs of
aging. Can also be used on concrete patios and walkways.

..PRODUCT APPLICATION .
SURFACE PREPARATION, WOOD:
Previously Coated Wood, Weathered Wood - Remove all
deteriorated material and coatings. Weathered wood should be
sanded to a sound surface.
Uncoated Weathered Wood - Bare, weathered wood must
be thoroughly cleaned to remove groundin dirt, mildew, mold
and algae stains, gray, UV-damaged wood fibers, and any other
surface contaminants.
Uncoated, New Wood - The surface must clean of all grease,
oil, dirt, or any other contaminates which may interfere with
adhesion. Use a deck or wood cleaner or other suitable cleaner
and rinse thoroughly. Mold and mildew must be removed with
a chlorinated cleaner or bleach solution. Rinse thoroughly with
fresh water and allow to fully dry. After preparation, sprinkle
water on the bare wood surface. If the water absorbs rapidly,
the surface is ready to be coated. If the water beads, puddles
or is not absorbed, an internal or external barrier exists and
must be eliminated before painting can begin.

SURFACE PREPARATION, CONCRETE:
Bare Concrete Proper surface preparation is critical to
performance. Remove all grease, oil, salt and other
contaminants with Rust-Oleum EpoxyShield

surface. If you see any dust or powder on your fingers, scrubbing
and rinsing until the floor is clean.
Previously Painted, Stained or Sealed Concrete - Remove
any loose or peeling paint, stain or sealer by wire brush or other
suitable method. To ensure proper adhesion, scuff sand the
entire surface. Wash the entire surface with Rust-Oleum

WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint from
any surface, you may release lead paint dust. LEAD IS
TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE
SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE;
ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN
SHOULD ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a NIOSH
approved respirator to control lead exposure. Clean up
carefully with a HEPA vacuum and a wet mop. Before you
start, find out how to protect yourself and your family by
contacting the National Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-

APPLICATION
Rust-Oleum Porch & Floor Coating is ready to use. Do not thin.
Apply only when air, material, and surface temperatures are
between 50-90°F (10-32°C) and the relative humidity is below
85%. Do not apply outdoors if rain is expected within 24 hours.
This product is self priming. For the most durable finish apply two
coats at the recommended coverage rate. First coat will dry to
touch in 1-2 hours. Allow a minimum 4-6 hours dry time before
re-coating. Apply with a high quality nylon/polyester bristle brush,
short nap paint/stain pad or roller or an airless sprayer (do not
use a pump sprayer). Brushing is the preferred method,
especially for rough sawn wood. When rolling or spraying, make
sure to back-brush along the grain. This will eliminate any drips,
runs, uneven coverage or surface puddles. To minimize lap
marks maintain a wet edge. If using more than one gallon,
intermix all cans of the same product to ensure color uniformity.
