More Information

Surface Preparation:
• Identify existing finish and if it scratches off easily, pressure washing with a cleaning solution may be all that is needed. For prior organic oil-bassed (i.e. Linseed oil) acrylic, or propylene glycol finishes, stripping, sanding or media blasting may be recommended for preparation. Make sure to remove any flaking, peeling, sheen, or water beading (mill glaze) so product can penetrate well.

Recommended Tools:
• Use a high-quality china bristle brush for application. If needed use a pole brush for an extended reach. Use a 6" or 9" plush roller for application and back rolling after spraying.

Application Instructions:
• Apply generously by hand,giving the wood complete saturation. Back brush or back roll for an even penetration.
• Start with vertical and diagonal surfaces first, then move to flat and horizontal surfaces. Use a thick pole brush, a 6-inch plush roller for spindles, and a 9-inch roller for larger surfaces.
• Use plastic sheathing to protect areas from drips. For enclosed areas, apply less product and wipe off any excess.
• Wipe up excess stain on horizontal surfaces within 24 hours. Furniture can be placed back after 48 hours.

Drying:
• Deck*1 Coat provides ample working time. Dripping is minimal unless over applied. If running does occur just bankroll again. Use plastic sheeting to protect surfaces.
• Place a mat to wipe feet for a few weeks after application. Securely hammer down the contianer lid after use.

Finish: The finish is initally dark and lightens within a few days. Full cure takes up to 30 days. Rain typically won't affect the finish after a few hours. Heavy rain spotting can be addressed by back-rolling with a 50/50 mix of mineral spirits and stain sealer after drying. Minor spots usually disappear during curing.

Cleaning:
• Clean tools with mineral spirits. Wash hands with soap and water.

Storage:
Store Deck*1 Coat in a cool dry place. It can last for several years if properly stored. Stir well before each use.

Caulking Tips:
• Choose a color that closley matches the anticipated wood ton after staining. Make sure to apply caulk before staining for best results. If done after staining make sure the stain has dried completley. Most caulks are acylic and can bleed through semi-transparent stains. Avoid caulking small checks.

Product Questions

Product Questions

  • How long will it take to for the deeper tone to lighten up?

    All decks, logs and timber homes will lighten up over the next few weeks. The manufacturer says, "The finish is dark initially and will lighten in the days to come.  Full curing takes approximately 30 days."  However, environmental factors like the amount of sun, temperatures, and porosity of the wood will be the determining factors in how quickly the color will lighten. Please be patient and let the product take its course. 

  • Why does the wood look darker than the picture I saw on the Sundance website?

    This is expected and normal. Depending on the age and porosity of the wood, it may have different degrees of sealant retention. The older the wood, the more sealant it will retain.  Initially this may result in a deeper the tone when working with older wood. 

  • What if it rains after treatment?

    Once the sealant is applied to dry clean wood it will immediately penetrate and repel water. The only time rain might present a problem is during application or if it occurs heavily within a few hours of applying the sealant.  Note: Rain typically won't affect the finish after 4-5 hours.  In extreme cases where there is heavy rain spotting it can be addressed by back-rolling well with an extremely light application of a 50/50 mix of mineral spirits and stain sealer after fully drying.  However, minor spots usually disappear during the curing process and we always recommend waiting to start a project if there is rain in the forecast.

  • How long will it take for the Sundance DECK*1 Wood Stain Sealer to dry and fully cure out?

    The DECK*1 sealant typically requires 24-48 hours to dry, depending on the weather. Furniture can typically be placed back on the deck after 48 hours.  The full curing process will take approximately 30 days during this time the color will typically lighten.
