READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING
For videos, information, and helpful tips on preparation, deck application, concrete application, and
maintenance; visit rustoleum.com/restore.
1. SURFACES
Wood: Restore 2X One Coat Solid Stain should only be applied on structurally sound wood and most composite
surfaces. Some composite decking is engineered with moisture repellants or sealers that may prevent proper
adhesion. Be sure to follow specific manufacturers recommendation before applying to any composite decking.
NOT FOR USE ON: Smooth or floated concrete, fiberglass, tile, and metal surfaces. These surfaces will not allow
for proper adhesion. Do not use on driveways, garages, or other areas with vehicular traffic.
2. NEW WOOD
New wood may be wet with chemicals or have mill glaze from the manufacturing process. New wood should age
for a minimum of 6 months before applying Restore 2X One Coat Solid Stain. The lumber must dry completely
before applying the product to prevent peeling of the coating. The surface must also be properly cleaned and
prepared using Restore Deck & Concrete Cleaner to remove all foreign material and mill glaze prior to application.
Follow the PREPARATION instructions to be sure the Restore 2X One Coat Solid Stain adheres properly to the
wood.
3. TINTING
Restore 2X One Coat Solid Stain tint base must be tinted at the store of purchase. DO NOT APPLY IF PRODUCT HAS
NOT BEEN TINTED.
4. COVERAGE
One 1-gallon can of Restore 2X One Coat Solid Stain will cover up to 250 square feet with one coat
One 5-gallon bucket of Restore 2X One Coat Solid Stain will cover up to 1,250 square feet with one coat
5. SURFACE PREPARATION FOR WOOD
Stop, Watch, and Roll: For more information and helpful tips watch the Preparation with the Restore Deck Start
Wood Primer and/or Preparation with Restore Deck Stripper videos.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY PRIOR TO BEGINNING.
REGADLESS OF AGE OR SURFACE CONDITION, FAILURE TO FOLLOW ONE OF THESE PREPARATION METHODS WILL
RESULT IN POOR ADHESION AND POSSIBLE COATING FAILURE. NEW AND SEALED WOOD DECKS NEED TO
WEATHER AT LEAST SIX MONTHS BEFORE APPLICATION.
METHOD 1: PREPARATION WITH RESTORE DECK START WOOD PRIMER (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)
Step 1 Clean:
Clean the surface using a deck brush and the Restore Deck & Concrete Cleaner. The surface must be completely
clean and free of dirt, grease, mildew and organic growth to ensure product bonding and adhesion. For best
results use a pressure washer, in addition to the Restore Deck & Concrete Cleaner, to remove embedded dirt &
grime. (Use at a low setting 500-1200 PSI. Do not use high pressure as it may harm the wood.) For mildew and
other organic growth use a diluted solution of household bleach (3 parts water to 1 part bleach) applied to the
surface before cleaning. Loose paint needs to be scraped and removed from the surface.
