1. SURFACES
Wood: Restore 12X Transparent Stain and Sealant should only be applied on structurally sound wood surfaces.
NOT FOR USE ON: Composite decking, 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 12X Transparent Stain and Sealant. 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 12X Transparent Stain and Sealant
adheres properly to the wood.
3. TINTING
Restore 12X Transparent Stain and Sealant is a tint base that must be tinted at the store of purchase. DO NOT
APPLY IF PRODUCT HAS NOT BEEN TINTED

REGARDLESS OF AGE OR SURFACE CONDITION, FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS PREPARATION METHOD WILL RESULT
