U.V. INHIBITOR INSTALLATION TIPS |

FLOOD CWF FOR HARDWOODS
CLEANING
• *
Don’t assume that new wood is clean.
Most any deck cleaner will suffice for
cleaning, but non-bleach cleaners are preferred. Cleaners
with Sodium
Percarbonate are highly effective for a thorough
cleaning. A light scrub
is
recommended with a medium bristle deck brush as pressure
washing is not
effective in removing ground-in dirt.
*
DO NOT sand entire deck surface as this will remove the
nap and result in
lower performance from the oil application.
Spot sanding where necessary
is acceptable.
*
DO NOT use steel wool on Ipe.
Carbon based metals placed in contact with
Ipe will cause a reaction that results in a black stain.
This stain cannot be
removed by sanding or general deck cleaners.
Oxalic acid is the only effective
chemical for removing this stain.
*
Allow wood to dry completely for at least 24-48 hours
after cleaning.
APPLYING
• *
Do not apply 24-48 hours before rain.
*
Brushing Messmers UV Plus with a natural hair/China bristle brush will
achieve best results and better penetration.
Brush in a linear motion as overlapping
will further darken those areas.
Apply thinly and evenly avoiding saturation on wood.
*
Any pooling or heavy areas should be brushed out instead
of wiping with cloth.
*
Do not apply oil with roller, rag, sponge, and spraying
is not recommended.
Do not
wipe down with cloth after brushing per can instructions.
*
Allow to dry/cure for 24-48 hours before walking on the
deck as footprints will remain.
For best results, please follow
above tips for applying Messmers UV Plus for Hardwoods Oil
to Ipe decking.
Installation instructions printed on the can’s label are
designed to cover a wide
range of hardwood
decking.
