Messmer's UV Plus is a premium natural wood finish which protects and beautifies exterior wood decks, siding, fences, log homes, and other wood projects.
If you live in Southern California you may be required to purchase the 100 grams per liter low emissions product.
Do not begin until you have read and understand all instructions. If you have questions, call us toll free at 1-800-731-3669, weekdays 8-5 Mountain time. Do not apply if rain is expected within 48 hours. In certain climates you may have to wait for a different time of year to do this. We recommend doing a small test area on your project to insure your satisfaction with color choice and appearance before proceeding with the entire job.
Clean the deck, and brighten if necessary:
Sweep excess debris (dirt and leaves) off the deck. Clean the deck with Messmer's Wood & Deck Cleaner (Part A), or another high quality wood cleaner of your choice, then rinse thoroughly with clean water. For redwood and some cedars, use Messmer's Wood and Deck Brightener (Part B) to remove tannin stains, which are dark discolorations from natural extractives in the wood. Rinse thoroughly after brightening with the Wood & Deck Brightener.
Make sure the deck surface is clean, dry and in good condition. You may need to wait a few days for the wood to completely dry depending on weather conditions. Cover plants, grass, concrete, trim, and any other areas you don't want stained.
Apply the deck stain:
Stir product thoroughly. Make sure that all pigment is mixed evenly into the stain. Apply one coat of UV Plus following label directions. Work with the grain. Brush or roll out any excess product puddled or pooled on the surface of the deck within 30 minutes. If excess product is not removed, sticky, shiny spots may remain on the surface.
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.
