Sundance Wood Stain Sealer DECK*1 Coat

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.
