• Surfaces must be thoroughly clean, dry and free of dirt, grease, grime, mildew and previous coatings.
• Treat mildew with a 50/50 bleach/water solution. Scrub solution on to surface and allow to stand for 10-15 minutes; rinse thoroughly.
• After stripping and cleaning, allow wood to dry 2-3 good drying days or until it has reached a moisture content of 18 % or less before applying finish.
• AQUADECKS® can only be applied to bare wood surfaces or a weathered wood surface that was previously finished with AQUADECKS®. ALL other finishes MUST be completely and thoroughly removed.
• If necessary sand surface after stripping and cleaning (80 grit paper).

Tools:

• Brush: High quality synthetic brush.
• Roller: Synthetic woven cover.
• Spray: Airless 35-65 bars (507-942 psi); HVLP 25-50 bars (362-725 psi); Low Pressure 0.55-0.70 bars (8-10 psi).

1. Apply a 1st liberal application of AQUADECKS® and allow to penetrate into the wood.
2. Apply 2nd application as soon as the wet look of the 1st application has disappeared (normally 15-20 minutes) and allow to penetrate into the wood.
3. For very porous surfaces a 3rd application may be needed.
4. Brush out any puddles within 20 minutes of applying the last application to avoid AQUADECKS® drying as shiny spots on the surface.
