Application Instructions

Provides a finely-textured finish that enhances the look of worn or weathered wood and concrete. Designed for application on aged, rough concrete and weathered wood that is structurally sound (decks, stairs, posts, railings, and more). Also appropriate for use on retaining walls, as well as new wood, and new concrete surfaces that have been allowed to cure for 30 days. See the product label for more information and details regarding application. WARNING: Darker colors may result in higher surface temperatures from direct sun exposure than light colors.

Step-by-step instructions:

1. 1. Cover everything you do not wish to coat, including plants.
2. 2. Make sure the wood or concrete surface has been properly prepared (follow surface preparation instructions on label or in Technical Data Sheet) and is completely dry.
3. 3. For color uniformity, intermix all containers being used, and do not thin the product. Stir the product before and periodically during application.
4. 4. Before applying first coat, dab a heavily-loaded brush into cracks, gaps, nail/screw holes and knots, until filled.
5. 5. Using a brush and a short dabbing stroke, cut in around the edges of the deck or concrete surface.
6. 6. To apply the first coat, fully saturate the roller by rolling back and forth in the tray. A fully-loaded roller will over an area of approximately 10–14 sq. ft. (1–1.3 sq. meters).
7. 7. Two coats are required. Wait a minimum of 6 hours before applying the second coat. To apply the second coat, cut in around the edges of the entire surface again and roll out as for the first coat.
8. 8. Allow the finish to dry for 48 hours before foot traffic, and 72 hours before replacing furniture or heavy objects.
