  • Intermix multiple containers to ensure color uniformity. DO NOT THIN PRODUCT. Stir product occasionally throughout application. Test product for penetration and color on a small hidden area before proceeding.
  • Use a nylon/polyester brush for areas requiring more accuracy. Use of rollers should be limited to rough surfaces only.
  • Use 3/8” nap or longer when appropriate. A high quality pump sprayer with a variable tip or an airless sprayer with a .015 - .019" tip may be used.
  • Work in small sections lightly saturating the surface and immediately back-brush or use pad applicator to eliminate puddling, remove excess and evenly distribute the stain. Maintain a wet edge when applying. Apply product end-to-end or to board lengths to prevent lap marks.
  • Over application of stain will lead to surface failure including peeling and cracking. Avoid applying stain too heavily. For optimum performance, coat all six sides of wood.

4 Common Myths About Wood Cleaners

No need to use

I don’t need to use a wood cleaner

Not only does a wood cleaner remove dirt and mildew stains prior to coating, but it actually opens the pores of the wood for the coating to properly adhere to the surface.

Notes

I can complete my project without it

Properly cleaning the wood actually saves time in the long run by improving the longevity and durability of the stain.

Tools

It requires extra tools I don’t have

All you need is a water source and a stiff bristle brush to effectively clean a wood surface with wood cleaner. Follow all instructions.
