PRECAUTIONS & TEMPERATURE SAFEGUARDS
DO NOT APPLY IF RAIN IS EXPECTED WITHIN 24 HOURS
OF APPLICATION. Apply when surface and air temperature is
between 40° and 90°F and will remain between 40° and 90°F for
at least 24 hours after application.
TRIM AND VERTICAL SURFACES: For posts, railings,
balusters and/or around edges and between boards, use
RockSolid 2X Solid Stain or RockSolid 6X Deck Coat.
APPLICATION
ONE THICK COAT OF ROCKSOLID 20X DECK
RESURFACER IS REQUIRED.
Thoroughly mix the material before and during project. When
using more than one container, combine all containers to ensure
color consistency.
Using a 9” RockSolid 20X Roller cover, saturate the roller cover
and roll in ONE DIRECTION, with slight downward pressure to
maintain texture and to push material into cracks and voids.
Saturate the roller cover again and roll back and forth over the
same area. Work to a wet edge at all times. Avoid rolling back
into coated areas where drying has begun. Coat 1 to 2 boards at
a time.
After coating 1-2 boards, use a putty knife or other straight edge
to remove excess coating between boards. Difficult areas such
as warped or cupped boards will require rolling across the
narrow width of the board as well as the length to ensure
complete coverage.
