Description

Wolman

DeckBrite

Wood Cleaner & Coating Prep

is an oxygen-activated powder concentrate cleaner for

weathered wood and a coating preparation for new wood.

When mixed with water, DeckBrite quickly and safely restores

dirty, weathered-gray, mildew and algae-stained wood to its

bright, natural, like-new look. In just 10 minutes, its unique,

oxygen-powered foaming action deep cleans and removes

stains without damaging the wood’s cell structure or

leaving a bleached-out look. DeckBrite also clears away

traces of old water sealers from weathered wood and invisible

coating barriers (such as “mill glaze” or excess surface wax)

from new wood, enabling proper adhesion or penetration of

protective coatings. Plus, the 100% biodegradable, acid and

chlorine-free solution is harmless to surrounding plant life.

Recommended Uses

FOR EXTERIOR USE ONLY.

WOOD TYPES: Use on all types of pressure-treated lumber,

plastic and wood composite materials, North American

hardwoods such as Poplar and Hickory, and weathered Cedar

and Redwood. (For new Cedar, Redwood or exotic hardwoods,

use Wolman Deck & Fence Brightener Liquid Concentrate).

User Tip – New generation (non-CCA) pressure-treated

lumber, when initially installed, may develop

pronounced mildew growth during the first few months

of weathering. To reduce or avoid mildew stain on the

coating film and immediately protect against water damage,

prep surface with DeckBrite and then pre-treat with

RainCoat

Clear Water Repellent – Oil-Base Formula for

6 months or allow wood to weather for 1 to 3 months before

applying a protective coating.

PROJECTS: Use to prepare or restore outdoor wood decks,

porches, fences, siding, shakes & shingles, outdoor

furniture & décor, boat docks, boardwalks, gazebos &

arbors, play sets and more.

Getting Started – Evaluating Wood Condition

Step 1 – Perform a Splash Test:

Regardless of whether wood is newly installed or pre-existing, it

is important to determine if there is a surface barrier

present which would prevent the proper penetration or

adhesion of a new coating. To conduct a Splash Test,

sprinkle several handfuls of water on a few distinct areas of the

surface. If the water absorbs rapidly, the surface will accept a

new coating. If the water beads, puddles or is not absorbed

in 10 minutes, an internal or external barrier exists, and

must be eliminated before coating can begin.

Step 2 – Prepare or Restore the Surface:

Before applying a protective coating, such as a water

sealer or stain, select and use Wolman

DeckBrite

(Powder Concentrate) if you have one of the following

WOOD CONDITIONS described below. After preparation,

repeat Splash Test to confirm water absorption.

Wood Condition:

Uncoated, New Wood – Beading or puddling water on new

pressure-treated lumber may indicate either a surface

barrier such as excess surface wax or excessive internal

moisture content. According to label guidelines and this

Technical Data Sheet, use Wolman DeckBrite powder

concentrate, then conduct Splash Test again. If absorption

is not improved, allow wood to dry two weeks in temperate

weather (avg.

50% humidity), longer in cooler or more

humid conditions. Test for absorption again before applying

a protective coating.

Uncoated, Weathered Wood – Before coating ANY

weathered wood, (pressure-treated, Cedar, Redwood,

domestic or exotic hardwoods, composites, etc.), it must be

thoroughly cleaned to remove ground-in dirt, mildew, mold

and algae stains, gray, UV-damaged wood fibers and any

other surface contaminants. According to label guidelines

and this Technical Data Sheet, use Wolman DeckBrite

powder concentrate, then conduct Splash Test again.
