APPLICATION:
Test a small area before starting general application to assure desired results. Do not thin product. Provide adequate ventilation.
SHAKE OR STIR CONTENTS BEFORE, AND PERIODICALLY DURING USE. TO ENSURE ABSOLUTE COLOR UNIFORMITY FROM CONTAINER TO CONTAINER, MIX AT LEAST ONE THIRD OF THE PRODUCT FROM A USED CONTAINER WITH THE CONTENTS OF A NEW ONE.
NOTE: Use plastic, cardboard, and/or drop cloths to protect all adjacent non-targeted surfaces such as siding, windows, masonry, plant life, etc. from overspray and runoff.
BRUSH: Use a good quality nylon or polyester brush.
ROLLER: Use a synthetic ¼" or 3/8" nap roller. Finish must be back brushed to remove roller stipple.
SPRAY: Use lowest pressure that achieves a uniform spray pattern to minimize fogging and overspray. For airless sprayers, use tips between .011 and .015.
A pump-up sprayer may also be used. Back brush to ensure a
uniform application.
ON ALL SURFACES: Saturate wood with two coats for maximum protection. Apply first coat to saturation and brush product into surface working out all drips, puddles, or areas of overspray before product dries. Apply a second coat between 20 minutes and 2 hours after the first application. Do not allow complete drying between coats.
NOTE: Complete entire sections or to a natural break before allowing to dry. Never break in the middle of a board as it will cause unsightly color variations. Thoroughly coat the ends of boards or logs to prevent water penetration. All surface checks on logs should be thoroughly coated.
VERTICAL SURFACES: Start from the bottom and work up. Treat the entire length of a board before moving up. If necessary, brush or feather in to avoid lap marks. Brush or roll in product before it dries and work out drips, runs, or overspray. DECKS: Start by applying DEFY Epoxy Wood Stain to the outside of railings (use a drop cloth under railings (use a drop cloth under railings to prevent a buildup of DEFY on horizontal surfaces), benches, and undersides of upper level decks (only one coat is required on undersides). Once underside is treated, immediately brush out all overspray, drips, etc. on top of deck. Treat horizontal surfaces last. WOOD SHINGLES: Clean and test for porosity. Apply two, heavy saturation coats. Depending on porosity, a third coat may be necessary to achieve total saturation. Backroll, or brush between coats to ensure a uniform application. Brush our all drips and puddles. To avoid restart lines, start at the bottom and treat entire length before moving up.
HELPFUL TIPS: Immediately remove overspray from non-targeted areas with soap and water. Overspray that is allowed to dry will be difficult to remove; dried product cannot be removed from concrete and masonry.
DRY TIME: To touch, 2 to 4 hours depending on temperature and humidity. Allow 24 hours for deck to dry before using.
CLEAN-UP: Clean tools and equipment immediately after use with soap
and water.
COVERAGE: With two coats, one gallon, of DEFY Epoxy Wood Stain will cover approximately 100-150 sq.ft., depending on wood texture and porosity.
Note: The "wet" color of DEFY Epoxy Wood Stain has a cloudy/milky appearance but will dry to a beautiful, semi-transparent finish.
