Penetrating Water Based Sealer

WOODRx Penetrating Water Based Sealer Technical Data Sheet

WOODRx is, by far, the best prescription for ant wood surface. It is technologically advanced, water based finish that effectively penetrates, seals and protects exterior wood surfaces. WOODRx resists moisture penetration and retards the aging (silvering) process of new wood. It contains an effective fungicide which resists growth on the film and a powerful UV screener that conventional, competitive wood sealers and is available in our Natural and Redwood shades, as well as, an unlimited array of custom colors.

Recommended Uses: For use on virtually all exterior wood surfaces such as decks, docks, sidings, fences and cedar shake roofs. May also be used on properly prepared pressure treated wood and previously stained surfaces.
Surface Preparation:Dirt, grease, grime and any foreign material should be removed before applying WOODRx. Surface must be clean and free from all contaminants. Contact a WOODRx representative for detailed surface preparation specifications.

Repair or replace all rotten, splitting, cracking, loose or missing wood. Replace all broken or corroded fasteners.
Mildew and algae: Apply a solution of household bleach and water to all surfaces being coated. Strength of solution will depend on severity of contamination (typically one part bleach to two parts water). Scrub into grain with a stiff brush, rinse thoroughly and repeat if necessary.
Pressure treated lumber should be scrubbed thoroughly with WOODRx Surface Prep and washed with a 2,500 PSI pressure cleaner.
Smooth new wood should be sanded with 50-80 grit sandpaper to remove mill glaze and to ensure proper penetration and adhesion. Pressure washing is highly reccommended to remove all contaminents, however, extreme care must be taken to avoid damaging wood

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 F. If surface is hot and dry, cool down with clean, fresh water and apply WOODRx to cool, moist surface. If surface is heavily weathered with checking and cracks, apply enough WOODRx to thoroughly penetrate the cracks. Avoid runs on vertical surfaces and puddles on horizontal surfaces. When applying with a brush or roller, care must be taken to avoid "Lapping". Always work with a wet edge and with the grain of the wood. Do not stop in the middle of the board and try to come back later to pick up where you left off. Stop at a logical breaking point to avoid the possibility of creating lap marks. The second coat may be applied as soon as the first coat is dry enough to touch. Typically 2-4 hours. WOODRx will appear milky when being applied but milkiness will disappear when fully dried
