    Application

    • Must apply between 5-32˚C.
    • Coating will resist rain after 4 hours. The wood surface must be completely dry before application.
    • No primer needed on most woods. However, Redwood, Cedar, Cypress, and other "bleeding" woods contain water-soluble extractives which may cause discolouration of white and pastel colours; therefore prime the above type woods with one coat of a product such as BEHR® NO. 436 Exterior Multi-Surface Primer & Sealer. See the label for additional instructions. Intermix multiple containers to ensure colour uniformity.
    • Stir product occasionally throughout the application.
    • Use a 10 mm nap roller, nylon/polyester brush, pad applicator, or airless sprayer. Airless spray is recommended for experienced applicators only; use a .38 mm - .48 mm (.015 - .019") tip.
    • If thinning is required, thin with water at a rate of no more than 236 mL per 3.79 L.
    • Maintain a wet edge when applying.
    • Always back-brush and apply product end to end or to board lengths to prevent lap marks. Over application of stain will lead to surface failure including peeling and cracking. AVOID APPLYING STAIN TOO HEAVILY. TWO THIN COATS RECOMMENDED.
    • For optimum performance, coat all six sides of the wood.
