weathered look on bare or untreated wood. It replicates

the aging process that occurs in nature by reacting with

the tannins of the wood to create a unique one-of-a kind

aged gray look. It works on all types of wood. The final

look will vary on the wood type. This water-based formula

is low odor.

Not for use on outdoor surfaces. For wood substrates only.

Not recommended for floors.

.PRODUCT APPLICATION .

SURFACE PRPEARATION

Remove any existing finishes with sandpaper or liquid

stripper. Weathered Wood Accelerator works best on bare

or untreated wood. Prepare bare wood by sanding in the

direction of the grain with #100 grit sandpaper. Remove

any dust with a clean, dry rag.

WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint, you

may release lead 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 dampened mop or lint-free cloth. Before

you start, find out how to protect yourself and your family

by contacting the National Lead Information Hotline at 1-

800-424-LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/lead.

TESTING COLOR

Weathered Wood Accelerator reacts differently with

different types of wood. To verify the final look, test

Weathered Wood Accelerator in an inconspicuous area

first.

PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.) .

APPLICATION

Stir or shake material thoroughly before and occasionally

during use. For best results, use at temperatures between

60ºF (16ºC) and 90ºF (32ºC). Apply with a synthetic bristle

brush or foam brush. Allow Weathered Wood Accelerator

to sit on the wood for 30 minutes to 1 hour for the final

effect. Wiping away is not required. For a lighter effect,

apply product and wipe away immediately or lightly sand

the finish with fine grit sandpaper once it is dry. To darken,

a second coat can be applied after 1 hour. To remove

Weathered Wood Accelerator, apply bleach to the surface

and wipe off.

PROTECTING THE FINAL FINISH

A topcoat should be applied for the best protection. Wait 2

hours for Weathered Wood Accelerator to dry. For

surfaces such as furniture and cabinetry, a lacquer spray

can be used as the topcoat. For best results, use Watco

lacquer. If you choose to topcoat with a polyurethane, first

seal with Watco Lacquer spray and then apply Varathane

Polyurethane. Test in an inconspicuous area first. Some

topcoats may continue to react with the Weathered Wood

Accelerator affecting the final work.

COVERAGE

One quart will cover up to 275 square feet.
