We recommend doing a test area on your project to insure your satisfaction with color choice before proceeding with the entire job.

Timberflex is for vertical surfaces only. Do not use on decks or any other walking surface.

Start with a clean surface
Make sure the wood surface is clean, dry and in good condition. If necessary, use a good quality wood cleaner to prepare the surface. Any loose, peeling or flaking previous finish should be removed.

Apply the first coat. Cover plants, grass, concrete, trim, and any other areas you don't want finished. Stir product thoroughly, making sure that all pigment is mixed evenly and there is no thick material at the bottom of the container. Apply one coat of Timberflex in your choice of colors following label directions. If spraying, it is recommended to "back brush" or roll the product to make sure that it fully penetrates into the wood. Allow at least 24 hours in good weather for the product to dry. A slightly tacky feel will be normal betweeen coats.

Apply a second coat of the same product Apply a second coat of Timberflex in the same color. Product will begin to build a film on the wood with the second coat. Allow at least 24 hours to dry, in good weather conditions. Cooler temperatures may require longer drying times.

Apply the third coat using Clear Gloss, Clear Satin, or the same color coat used for coats 1 and 2 Apply a third coat, using either the same product to yield a glossy finish with deeper color, or Timberflex Gloss or Timberflex Satin clear topcoats.

Clean up Following label directions, dispose of waste including roller covers and brushes in a water filled container. Seal the container and dispose of it properly.
