DESCRIPTION AND USES

Raincoat

One Coat Clear Sealer is a clear water-

based exterior water repellant designed to provide protection

against water damage and mildew. Raincoat One Coat

Water-based Clear Sealer formula is colorless which allows

the wood’s original color and grain to show through while

protecting the surface from water damage.

The hydrophobic technology with excellent water repellency

helps maximize resistance to wood cracking, checking,

splitting and warping. Raincoat One Coat Clear Sealer is

suitable for use on all types of pressure treated lumber,

Cedar, Redwood, Poplar, Hickory and other North American

hardwoods.

Use Raincoat One Coat Clear Sealer to beautify and protect

decks, porches, fences, shake, shingle and clapboard siding,

boat decks, boardwalks, outdoor furniture, gazebos, arbors

and trellises, storage sheds and more.

DO NOT USE ON ANY CONCRETE SURFACE. Do not use

on driveways, garages or other areas with vehicular traffic.

Wolman Raincoat One Coat can be applied using a ⅜”

nap roller, a short nap stain pad, synthetic paint brush

or a pump style sprayer.

PRODUCT APPLICATION

SURFACE PREPARATION

The surface preparation process described below should be

followed to achieve optimum performance of this product.

REGARDLESS OF AGE OR SURFACE CONDITION, FAILURE

TO FOLLOW ONE OF THESE PREPARATION METHODS WILL

RESULT IN POOR ADHESION AND POSSIBLE COATINGS

FAILURE. NEW AND SEALED WOOD DECKS NEED TO

WEATHER AT LEAST SIX MONTHS BEFORE APPLICATION.

Prepare the surface with Wolman DeckStrip

DeckStrip ASR, then use Wolman DeckBrite

™

or Deck &

Fence Brightener based on wood condition described

below.

PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.)

SURFACE PREPARATION (cont.)

After preparation, conduct a Splash Test on bare wood

(described below) to confirm water absorption before

applying this product.

PREVIOUSLY COATED, WEATHERED WOOD

For best results, previous coatings such as paints, solid color

and semi-transparent stains in a weathered state, should be

stripped to create a bare, sound surface for maximum

coating adhesion and durability. To remove oil, alkyd or

latex, water base stains, use Wolman DeckStrip Stain &

Finish Remover. For 100% acrylic solid or semi-solid stains,

use Wolman DeckStrip ASR Acrylic Stain Remover.

For previous coatings in sound condition and for weathered

transparent finishes, toners, and clear sealers, thoroughly

clean with Wolman DeckBrite or Deck & Fence Brightener to

remove chalky paint residue, embedded dirt, mildew and

other contaminants, residual coating material and water

repellents. According to label guidelines, select the

appropriate cleaning product for your wood type, use

according to directions and rinse with a power washer for

best results. When dry, scrape off and sand any remaining

loose flaking or peeling coating using 50 or 60 grit

sandpaper. After wood is dry, conduct a splash test

(described below).

UNCOATED, WEATHERED WOOD

Before staining, bare, weathered wood must be thoroughly

cleaned to remove ground-in dirt, mildew, mold and algae

stains, gray, UV damaged wood fibers any other surface

contaminants. According to label guidelines, select the

appropriate product for your particular wood type, either

Wolman DeckBrite or Deck & Fence Brightener; then follow

usage directions on the label, rinse and let dry. After wood is

rinsed and dry, conduct a Splash Test (described below).

UNCOATED, NEW WOOD

New wood decks need to weather at least 6 months before

application. After wood has weathered 6 months, it is

important to open wood pores and remove any surface

barrier which would prevent the proper penetration or

adhesion of a new coating. If pressure-treated lumber,

excess surface wax or excessive internal moisture content

may be present. If new wood is Cedar or Redwood, “mill

glaze” on the surface is a common condition.
