Application Tips

• Use proper precautions with highly extractive woods such as cedar and redwood (call us at 1-800-321-3444 for more information).
• New wood has a hard, shiny surface called mill glaze that prevents maximum penetration of a stain — to reduce this mill glaze and remove natural wood chemicals and other factory-applied sealers, treat surface with Flood WOOD STRIPPER (1 quart to 1 gallon of water) to open wood so it can accept a new finish.
• New wood requires time to dry out and open pores before finishing. To test, pour a cup of water on a horizontal wood surface. If it is absorbed into the wood within 30 seconds, it is ready to be finished.
• Before starting, test your color choice on a small area.
• Buy sufficient product for the whole job and intermix all product together before starting to avoid color variance.
• Sand, scrape or wire brush loose, flaking or peeling finishes.
• Pressure wash to remove excess dirt and other contamination.
• Proper surface preparation is essential for the limited warranty to apply — see side of product label for limited warranty details.
• Surfaces must be clean, free of dirt, grime, mildew and previous coatings before applying a semi-transparent deck stain.
• Weathered, uncoated surfaces: clean with Flood WOOD CLEANER prior to coating.
• Previously coated surfaces: remove finish with Flood WOOD STRIPPER prior to coating.
• Allow wood to dry 48 hours before finishing.
• If applying with a roller or sprayer, always backbrush.
• Apply between 50° F - 80° F.
• On new wood, a two-coat application is recommended.
