X-100 Natural Seal® Wood Preservative Proper Surface Preparation:
• To achieve the maximum effectiveness of this product the surface must be cleaned of dirt, mildew, loose wood fibers, chalky residue, foreign matter and must be dry.
• New Wood: Surface must be dry with moisture below 15%. Remove mill glaze/shiny lumber, tannic acid bleed, rust stains from fasteners, weathered grey and dirty wood with X-180 Weathered Wood Restorer™.
• Existing Coating (other than X-100 finishes): Strip the existing finish with Super Bio Strip™ or other, appropriate ABRP, Inc coatings remover.
• Note: Before beginning removal process, test to determine removal product suitability, dwell time and dilution ratio if applicable. Clean with X-180 Weathered Wood Restorer™ to produce a consistent surface color.
• Failure to remove the existing coating will cause unsatisfactory finish results. Removal of the existing coating by methods other than what is specified may produce unsatisfactory finish results.

X-100 Natural Seal® Wood Preservative Application Methods:
• Brush.
• Roller.
• Low Pressure Sprayer - If using a low pressure sprayer always back brush into surface.

X-100 Natural Seal® Wood Preservative Tips for Best Performance:
• Apply above 50° F. with brush, roller, or spray. If spraying, use a brass tip.
• Apply as much as the wood will absorb; do not over-saturate.
• Back brush to ensure proper surface penetration.
• Mix X-100 Natural Seal® Wood Finish well before using.
• A test area should be performed before beginning overall project to determine the amount of X- 100 Natural Seal® Wood Finish the wood will absorb, dry time, wood porosity and total desired look.
• Fully protect all adjacent surfaces, as well as, general work area.
• When spraying near vegetation, cover plant life with cardboard or other suitable material in case of overspray.
• For Best Results & Optimal Penetration: Apply to dry wood. Do not apply if rain is imminent. Both surface and air temperature must be above 50º F.
• For lumber that is not dried or seasoned: X-100 Natural Seal® Wood Finish is formulated to protect damp wood. However, the duration of protection will be in direct relationship to how much X-100 Natural Seal® Wood Finish the wood will absorbed.
• For further protection, apply X-100 Natural Seal® Wood Finish on all sides of the wood. If the application has to be interrupted, stop at a corner as opposed to the middle of the wall.

X-100 Natural Seal® Wood Preservative Application Instructions:
1. Apply X-100 Natural Seal® Wood Finish with a brush, or low pressure sprayer. If using a low pressure sprayer always back brush into surface. Work vigorously into all surfaces.
2. Apply as much X-100 Natural Seal® Wood Finish as the wood will absorb. Note: if after a 12 hour period the surface remains oily, over-application has occurred. Use ABR® Deck & Siding Wash to remove the excess finish. Failure to do so in a timely manner will result in unsatisfactory performance of the finish.
3. To avoid runs and streaking, back brush product from surfaces before drying. Rough sawn wood will generally absorb more product evenly; however, it will still require back brushing.
4. Keep a wet edge to avoid lap marks.
5. If the wood can absorb more X-100 Natural Seal® Wood Finish and extra protection or more depth of color is desired, apply an additional coat of X-100 Natural Seal® Wood Finish at a later date.

X-100 Natural Seal® Wood Preservative Cleanup:
• Mineral spirits or dish detergent & water.
• If X-100 Natural Seal should get on surfaces such as glass, paint, metal, caulking or rubber, remove immediately with dish detergent.  If a spill is dry, clean with mineral spirits.
