A Clean and Sound Surface is Required.
Your deck surface must be clean and sound. Properly prepare your deck before application.
  • Remove dirt, oil, grease, mold/mildew, or any other debris or stain on the surface
  • Replace rotting or unstable boards
  • Remove loose wood fibers or wood fuzz
  • Remove peeling paint/coating
  • Make sure the deck has been constructed according to standard building codes
Your Surface Must be Completely Dry.
Apply ADVANCED DECKOVER Coating only on a completely dry surface. After cleaning with water and appropriate cleaning products, allow a minimum of 24 hours of dry time.
  • If you live in a high-moisture region, allow for a longer dry time
  • If weather conditions are damp, allow for a longer dry time
  • Do not apply in direct sunlight.
  • If rain is predicted within 24 hours, don't apply
  • Do not apply under foggy, high-moisture, or cool temperature conditions
  • Ensure that the wood surface has adequate board spacing to allow for proper air circulation
Where You Apply is Important.
  • Properly prepared wood and composite surfaces (such as decks and railings)
  • Properly prepared concrete surfaces (such as pool decks and patios)
  • Properly prepared pressure-treated wood
  • Drivable surfaces (such as garages and driveways)
