Where To Use

Surface Preparation
Surface must be clean, dry and free of all dust, dirt, mildew, oil and other contaminants. Clean weathered, dirty or mildewed surfaces with a wood cleaner/mildew remover before applying this product. Stir thoroughly and often during use. Test a small hidden area prior to application to ensure acceptable appearance and penetration. When using more than one container of the same color, intermix to ensure color uniformity. Apply one thin coat with a high quality natural bristle brush, roller or paint pad, or with spray equipment. To help avoid lap marks, apply to only a few boards at a time, keeping a wet edge. Always back brush during application to ensure optimum penetration and uniformity. Do not thin the formula. Apply when air, product and surface temperatures are 50 F (10 C) or above. Avoid painting in direct sunlight or on hot surfaces.
Precautions
Rags, steel wool or waste soaked with this formula may spontaneously catch fire if improperly discarded. Immediately after each use, place rags, steel wool or waste in a sealed water-filled metal container. Keep away from heat/sparks/flames/ignition sources. Do not smoke. Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage or disposal. Avoid skin and eye contact.
Ventilation
Provide fresh air ventilation during and after application and drying. If you experience eye watering, headaches, nausea, dizziness, or loss of coordination, increase fresh air, wear NIOSH-approved respiratory protection or leave the area.
