HOW TO USE

• Usage
  New or reconditioned wood including fences, porches, outdoor furniture, steps, railings, siding and wood decks.
• Prep
  Be sure surface is free of all dirt, mildew stains, loose wood fibers and other foreign matter. In order to be effective, a stain must be able to adhere and penetrate. Surfaces must be structurally sound. Prepare previously stained or weathered surfaces with Valspar® Wood Cleaner or Valspar® All-In-One Wood Prep. On untreated weathered surfaces, it is best to pressure wash, but at minimum, scrubbing with a stiff bristle brush and rinsing with a garden hose should be done to completely remove all loose wood fibers. Sanding is best to remove any loose wood fibers. Mildew: Any mildew stains present on the surface prior to application should be removed with an exterior wood cleaner. Mildew stains are not caused by the coating, nor do they represent coating failure.This product contains agents that inhibit the growth of mildew on the coating’s film.
• Application
  Apply with a good-quality, natural bristle brush, high-quality roller, stain pads or professional spray equipment. To ensure desired appearance and proper drying time, always finish a small test area before proceeding. Do not overapply. Shake and stir thoroughly before and during use. If project requires more than 1 container, blend all containers together to ensure uniformity. A 1 coat application can be used. If needed, a second coat can be applied after the surface is dry. Dry time will vary depending on temperature, humidity and porosity of surface.
