Preparation is key to maximizing the product’s performance To properly prepare your surface, use either the Wolman™ DeckStrip® or DeckStrip® ASR, then clean with Wolman™ DeckBrite™ or Deck & Fence Brightener.
If wood is brand new and intended for outdoor installation and exposed to weather conditions for 30 days or less, a “splash test” should be performed to determine if there is any surface barrier present which would repel a new coating. Sprinkle a few drops of water on several areas of the surface to be coated. If the water is absorbed rapidly, the surface is ready to be finished with WOODLIFE® CreoCoat®. If the water beads are not absorbed into the wood, a surface barrier exists and must be removed. Apply Wolman® DeckStrip® or Wolman® Deck & Fence Brightener and then test again. Regardless of the surface’s age or condition, failure to follow proper preparation methods will result in poor adhesion and/or possible coating failure.
