Full instructions:

New wood?:

Allow new pressure treated lumber to weather for 3 months to adequately dry out prior to application.

Clean wood:

All wood surfaces must be clean, porous, and dry before applying #1 Deck Advanced Solid Color Wood Stain. Use #1 Deck Wood Cleaner to remove mill glaze, mildew, graying and other foreign matter that might block surface pores and interfere with product penetration. Rinse thoroughly with a garden hose or power washer (maximum 1200 p.s.i.).

Brighten wood:

While surface is still wet from cleaning or stripping, use #1 Deck Wood Brightener to neutralize the wood, restore the wood to its natural color, and open the pores of the wood, allowing the stain to be more easily absorbed.

Weather conditions:

Surface and air temperatures should be between 45°F and 95°F. Avoid application in direct sunlight. Do not apply to wet or water saturated surfaces, or when rain is expected within 12 hours. Stain may be applied to wood surfaces the same day as cleaning and brightening as long as surface is visibly dry before staining.

Mix well:

Shake or stir contents before and periodically during use. To ensure absolute color uniformity from container to container, mix at least one third of the product from a used container with the contents of a new one. Do not thin product.

Protect adjacent areas:

Use plastic, cardboard, and/or drop cloths to protect all adjacent non-targeted surfaces such as siding, windows, masonry, plant life, etc. from overspray and runoff. Immediately remove overspray from non-targeted areas with soap and water. Overspray that is allowed to dry will be difficult to remove; dried product cannot be removed from concrete and masonry.

Use the right equipment:

Hand brushes should be high quality nylon or polyester. A paint roller may also be used. If using an airless sprayer, use tips between .013 and .015, and use the lowest pressure that achieves a uniform spray pattern to minimize fogging and overspray.

Using solid color wood paint on decks:

Start by applying #1 Deck Advanced Solid Color Wood Stain to the railings, benches, and undersides of upper level decks. Proper application requires 2 coats of product be applied, waiting for the first coat to dry before applying the second. Brush out all overspray, drips, etc. prior to them drying. Once all vertical surfaces have been treated with two coats of stain proceed to treating horizontal surfaces.

Drying time:

To touch, one to two hours depending on temperature and humidity. Allow 24 hours for deck to completely cure before using. High humidity and lower temperatures can increase dry time.

Clean up:

Clean tools and equipment immediately after each use with soap and water.

Coverage:

With two coats, one gallon of #1 Deck Advanced Solid Color Wood Stain will cover approximately 100 – 150 sq. ft., depending on wood texture and porosity.
