Preparation† (Proper surface preparation is required.)

• For failing coatings or to remove loose wood fibers, use a product such as BEHR PREMIUM® No. 64 Wood Stain & Finish Stripper followed by BEHR PREMIUM No. 63 All-In-One Wood Cleaner to neutralize the wood.
• When No. 64 is not needed, a product such as No. 63 MUST be used to remove mill glaze and clean the wood surface. After using either No. 64 or No. 63, rinse thoroughly with a garden hose or pressure washer. When rinsing with a pressure washer, use the broadest spray pattern while keeping the nozzle at least 24" away from the surface.
• Allow the area to dry at least 24 hours before coating.
• Lightly sand to remove remaining wood fibers/fuzz. See behr.com for additional product information.

Application

• Must apply between 40-90˚F (4.5-32˚C).
• *Do not apply if rain is expected within 4 hours of product application. Resists rain 4 hours after application.
• The surface must be completely dry before application.
• For multiple gallons, combine into a larger containers for color uniformity.
• DO NOT THIN PRODUCT. Stir product occasionally throughout the application.
• Test product for penetration and color on a small hidden area before proceeding.
• Use a natural bristle brush for areas requiring more accuracy. The 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 .013"-.017" tip (60 mesh filter) may be used.
• If thinning is necessary for spray application, then use a VOC compliant paint thinner at a rate of up to 8 oz. per gallon. • Lightly saturate the surface and back-brush any excess finish.
• Be sure to eliminate puddling and evenly distribute the finish. Maintain a wet edge when applying.
• Apply product end-to-end or to board lengths to prevent lap marks. Avoid applying finish too heavily.
• One coat application. For optimum performance, coat all accessible sides.
