TWP 300™ SERIES DECK AND FURNITURE STAIN PRODUCT
TWP 300 is especially formulated to
resist mold, mildew and fungus. It is a positive dry, oil-based
penetrating surface sealer. It leaves no oily film residue. It
contains 60-65% solids, is ultra-violet resistant, water repellant
and VOC compliant. It is available in regular formulation as well as
in a VOC compliant format. TWP 300 Series is very resistant to
rub-off, if properly applied. It dries to a low sheen with one coat
or a high gloss with multiple coats. It works well on both
horizontal and vertical surfaces. TWP 300 is ideal for picnic
tables, wood benches, playground equipment, decks, wood siding,
porches handrails, log homes, docks, wood trim on boats, spas and
other exterior wood areas. It may be recoated with itself if the
surface color shows fading (aging). Apply very thin coats to avoid
film buildup.
OLD WOOD: Remove mildew, loose dirt, and old fibers using a
surface cleaner. A strong cleaner and/or bleach solution may be
needed for difficult jobs, such as removing all gray or bleaching
out all color. Ask for information about Z-90 Wood Magic™ for
lightening wood. After solution has set on the surface for the
proper time, power wash to remove. Rinse thoroughly. Sand rough or
checked areas. Replace wood if severely checked, rotted or
splintered. Old finishes must be stripped because they will interfere with TWP
300’s penetration. To test surface, sprinkle a small amount of water
on the surface. If it beads up, like on a waxed car, the surface
must be stripped before proceeding. Wood is now ready for the new
finish.
NEW WOOD: Remove all dryer
and grading marks. Wet surface, then let dry, several times, to lift
surface fibers to allow penetration on new wood.
APPLICATION: Dip, brush, roll or spray. Do not apply below
50ºF. Material may be thinned at the rate of up to 2 gal. mineral
spirits to 5 gal. TWP 300. Do not use
recycled thinners! This improves penetration and lightens
color. **CAUTION** Using thinners raises the VOC. VOC compliant thinners are
available, if needed in your area. To avoid glossy areas, use
roller, applicator pad or rag after TWP 300 is on the surface 15-30
min. Rub off extra material on knot swirls and grain sweeps. Use TWP
300 full strength for one-coat applications. A single coat gives a
natural stain look. One coat is enough on new and power washed
surfaces. For a varnish look, use a thinned coating first then after
that is completely dry, use a second thinned coat. Wait 72 hrs. or
until after finish is dry to the touch, before applying second coat. Gloss
finishes, properly applied, give the best protection for resistance
to scuffing and heavy traffic areas. If the surface looks too
glossy, lightly sand the surface with a green Scotchbrite™ pad. This
will reduce the shine. It will also remove a little of the coating.
SPREAD RATE:
1. New planed wood: 300-400 sq. ft./gal. This gives a glossy varnished
look. A second coat is necessary for uniformity. As an
alternative, a thinned coating of TWP 300 Clear as a first coat will
help maintain an even finish.
2. New wood or to add color to cleaned older surfaces: 200-500 sq.
ft./gal. depending on age and dryness of wood.
3. Rough sawn new wood: 200-300 sq. ft./gal. one coat.
4. Rough sawn old wood: 150-200 sq. ft./gal. one coat. For longer
protection on rough sawn surfaces use two thinned coats.
DRY TIME: 48-96 hours depending on drying conditions.
THINNING AND CLEAN UP: Mineral spirits. Once again, do
not use recycled thinners to thin 300 series.
