 WOODRx PREPARATION & APPLICATION
PROCEDURES
RECOMMENDED USES
For use on virtually all exterior wood surfaces such as decks, docks, siding,
fences and shake roofs. May also be used on properly prepared pressure treated
surfaces and previously stained surfaces. Do not apply over painted wood
surfaces.
SURFACE PREPARATION:
Dirt, grease, grime and any other foreign material must be removed before applying
WOODRx. Surface must be clean and free of all contaminants.
- Repair or replace all rotten, splitting, cracking,
loose or missing wood. Replace all broken or corroded fasteners.
- Smooth, new wood should be sanded with
50-80 Grit sandpaper to remove mill glaze and ensure proper penetration and adhesion.
Note: Mill glaze must be removed from certain woods such as
cedar, redwood, exotic hard woods, etc.. Contact an Inseco
representative should you have any questions.
- Mildew & Algae Treatment: Apply a solution of bleach and water to
all surfaces being coated. Strength of solution will depend on
severity of contamination. Use of a stiff scrub brush for stubborn areas maybe
necessary.
- After mildew and algae treatment, thoroughly scrub surfaces with
WOOD.Rx Surface Prep. If surface is heavily weathered with checking and cracks, apply
liberal quantities of surface prep solution. Apply with scrub brush.
- Pressure wash surfaces to remove all
cleaning solutions and contaminants. A2000-2500 PSI pressure washer is normally required for pressure treated wood. Softer
woods, such as cedar shingles, will require the use of lower pressure.
Note: Extreme care must be taken not to damage wood during
pressure cleaning process.
APPLICATION: Stir WOODRx thoroughly before use. Apply liberally with brush,
roller, or spray equipment. Do not apply in direct, hot sunlight or when surface
temperatures are below 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
1.Avoid runs on vertical surfaces and puddles on horizontal surfaces.
2. Always work with a wet edge and with the grain of the wood. Do not stop in the
middle of a board, stop at a logical break point to avoid the possibility of creating lap
marks
3. Bare wood surfaces must be flushed with fresh, clean water prior to
applying the first
coat of WOODRx. Broom puddled water until puddling stops. WOODRx can not be
applied if water is puddled. Second coat must be applied to dry surfaces.
4. For wood surfaces heavily weathered with checking and cracking, apply liberal
quantities of WOODRx Surface Conditioner to the point of over saturation. Apply
WOODRx only after surface conditioner has thoroughly soaked into surface and
dried.
This process will take a minimum of 24 Hours.
5. Apply two even coats of WOODRx for maximum performance. Coverage will
average
200-400 Square feet per gallon depending on texture and surface porosity. Recoat is
typically 2-4 Hours. WOODRx will appear milky when being applied but
milkiness will
disappear when fully dried. WOODRx does not require thinning and should be used as is,
directly from container.
6. Should a non-skid surface be desired, mix TEXRx Non Slip Additive with
first coat of
WOODRx. Apply second coat of WOODRx straight from can.
CLEAN UP: Clean up drips and spills immediately using a drop cloth. Clean tools
and
equipment with soap and water.
