SURFACE PREPARATION
Always clean gray or dirty wood before applying U.V. Plus for hardwoods. Use Messmer’s Wood & Deck Cleaner (A) and Brightener (B) available in powder concentrates. Allow wood to completely dry for at least 24 to 48 hours. Previously stained or treated wood should be sufficiently weathered to allow for complete penetration. New redwood should be aged at least 6-8 weeks and cleaned and brightened before applying product.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
Before applying, this product should be mixed thoroughly. Ensure that all settled material on bottom of can is evenly incorporated, and intermix all containers (box them).
Apply U.V. Plus for hardwoods when surface temperatures are between 7°C and 32°C. If surface is hot to the touch, it is too hot to apply product. Do not apply product if precipitation is expected within 24-48 hours.
Spray Application: Spraying is not recommended for decks. For vertical applications, back brush or roll to prevent sags and runs. Cover surrounding areas to protect from overspray. For airless spray, use .015” to .019” tip size for best results.
Brush Application: To minimize lapping, maintain a wet edge lengthwise and do not break in the middle of boards.
One coat is sufficient for most applications. Product not absorbed into the wood within 30-60 minutes must be removed to prevent surface sheen.
THINNING RECOMMENDATIONS
Thinning is not recommended.
CLEANUP
Use paint thinner. Dispose of waste in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.
Danger - Rags, steel wool or waste soaked with U.V. Plus for hardwoods may spontaneously catch fire if improperly discarded. Immediately after each use, place rags, steel wool or waste in a sealed, water filled metal container.
