1) Temperature must be above 50 F. and below 90
F. when coating.
2) Wood must be clean and dry (No rain in last day, or forecast
for current day).
3) For best results, pressure wash your wood with
clean water (no chemical additives) then let it dry completely.
4) Lightly stir EPL, then apply a uniform thin
to moderate coat to avoid slow drying film. We recommend using
a pad-type brush (don't wipe excess coating off pad edge).
5) Materials needed:
-
EPL Wood Coating, (3.5 gal. for each approx.400
sq. ft. deck).
-
Pad type applicator. Note: WalMart carries
this type of applicator.
-
Rags and old clothes
-
Bucket of clean water and safety glasses.
6) AVOID APPLYING FOAM: Don't wipe pad on edge of
bucket, just shake excess liquid off pad. If foam forms in bucket,
scoop it off. Frequently rinse and squeeze the pad in a separate bucket of clean water.
7) EPL will dry quickly (~ 10 minutes). Recoat
only after first coat is dry.
8) We recommend 2 coats be applied the first year.
For high-traffic and horizontal areas, annual reaapplication is
recommended to maintain appearance and protection.
9) Pressure wash EPL after a year will "imbed"
the EPL layer into the wood and recoating will build thicker
films of plastic coating.
