Application Guide
- Prep the surface: Clean thoroughly to remove dirt, mildew, chalking, and any loose or peeling coating.
- Sand if needed: Lightly sand weathered, glossy, or previously coated surfaces to improve adhesion.
- Stir well: Stir stain thoroughly before and during use. Do not shake to avoid bubbles.
- Apply evenly: Use a brush, pad applicator, roller, or sprayer. Work along the grain and maintain a wet edge.
- Avoid direct sun: Apply when the surface is cool and out of direct, hot sunlight.
- Second coat (if required): Follow opacity instructions; typically allow 4–6 hours between coats.
- Allow to cure: Avoid heavy traffic or furniture placement for at least 48 hours. Full cure in 7–14 days.
