Rev.: 030215
PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont) .
SURFACE PREPARATION (cont.)
Conduct a splash test by sprinkling water on at least four or more
areas, both in high traffic and non-traffic areas. If the water
absorbs rapidly into the wood, the surface is ready to coat. If the
water beads, puddles or is not absorbed, the surface is not ready
to coat and requires more surface preparation. Continue the
process until the water absorbs into the wood in all test areas.
Secure all raised nail heads, deck screws, or loose deck boards.
Remove loose splinters and replace severely damaged or rotting
boards. Fill cracks with Restore Crack Filler or similar acrylic,
non-silicone filler. Allow to dry.
PRECAUTIONS & TEMPERATURE SAFEGUARDS
DO NOT APPLY IF RAIN IS EXPECTED WITHIN 24 HOURS
OF APPLICATION. Apply when sir and surface temperature is
between 50-90°F (10-32°C) and will remain between 50° and
90°F for at least 6 hours after application.
APPLICATION
ONE THICK COAT OF 2X ONE COAT SOLID STAIN IS
REQUIRED.
Thoroughly mix the material with a power drill to ensure any
settled pigment is re-dispersed and stir occasionally during use.
Box material if using more than one container to ensure color
consistency.
Before applying Restore 2X One Coat Solid Stain to the
horizontal portions of the deck, first coat vertical surfaces such as
deck posts, railings or balusters. Next cut around edges with a
brush and coat visible areas between deck boards.
Using either a ⅜” nap roller, a short nap stain pad or a synthetic
paint brush, saturate and apply generously in a consistent
pattern. Work to a wet edge at all times. Avoid rolling back into
coated areas where drying has begun.
Allow the coating to dry 24 hours before light foot traffic and 48
hours before replacing furniture. If the surface is tacky or soft,
extend the drying time before putting heavy objects back in place.
Full cure to a hard finish will take approximately 7 days.

CLEAN-UP

clean up should be done before the product dries. Cover
the areas around spindles and walls to avoid splattering
during the application process. Properly dispose of all
soiled rags and protect unused product from freezing.

the surface from dirt, leaves and other debris. Clean the
