KILZ® Waterproofing Semi-Transparent Stain

Preparation^†

The following steps and products are required.

• To remove loose and failing coatings or wood fibers, use a wood stain & finish stripper followed by a wood cleaner & brightener to neutralize the wood.

• When stripping is not needed, the surface MUST be prepared with a wood cleaner to remove mill glaze and clean the wood surface.

• After using a stripper or cleaner & brightener, rinse the surface 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.

• If needed, lightly sand to remove any wood fibers/fuzz

A quality product that contains a mildewcide will assist in providing a mildewresistant finish, provided that all existing mildew is removed prior to application. While this product does contain mildewcide, it will not prevent mildew growth.

Application

• For best results, a pad applicator is recommended over large deck areas. Must apply between 40-90° F.

• Avoid applying in direct sunlight or to hot surfaces. Do not use if rain is expected within 24 hours. The surface must be completely dry before application.

• 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 (60 mesh filter) 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. Two thin coats required. For optimum performance, coat all accessible sides.

  COVERAGE: 1st Coat 250-300 Sq. Ft.; 2nd Coat 500-600 Sq. Ft.

Application Methods
