Extended Information:
FOR EXTERIOR USE ONLY Use to prepare or restore outdoor wood decks, porches, fences, siding, shakes & shingles, outdoor furniture & décor, boat docks, boardwalks, gazebos & arbors, play sets and more. Removes the Following Coating Barriers from weathered wood:
Ground-In Dirt, Mildew, Mold & Algae Stains, Weathered Gray Surface, Old Sealers & Clear Finishes WOOD TYPES:
Use on all types of pressure-treated lumber, plastic and wood composite materials, North American hardwoods such as Poplar and Hickory, and weathered Cedar and Redwood. (For new Cedar, Redwood or exotic hardwoods, use Wolman Deck & Fence Brightener Liquid Concentrate). Note: New generation (non-CCA) pressure-treated lumber,
when initially installed may develop pronounced mildew growth during the first few months of weathering. To reduce or avoid mildew staining allow wood to weather for 1 to 3 months before applying a protective coating. To
immediately protect against water damage, prep the surface with DeckBrite and pre-treat with Wolman RainCoat® Clear Water Repellent–Oil-Base. Allow 6 months before applying a protective coating. PRODUCT APPLICATION
Mixing:
Mix ¾ cup powder per one (1) gallon lukewarm tap water. Solution will foam and appear bright blue. Stir occasionally and wait for approximately 5 minutes for powder to dissolve. If using cold water, a few more minutes may be necessary. When blue color disappears, powder is completely dissolved, and DeckBrite solution is ready to apply. Use within 6 hours of mixing. Do not mix with any other products. Make sure entire wood surface is dry and free of dust, dirt and debris. If the surface is hot to the touch or indirect sunlight, dampen with fresh water to cool. Apply when outside temperatures are above 40°F. Apply:
Pre-wet surface with fresh water. Working on 20 sq. ft. at a time to maintain optimum surface wetness, apply solution and let sit and foam for 10 minutes. If solution dries prematurely, keep it wet with additional solution as needed. On horizontal surfaces: Apply solution with a pump sprayer, airless sprayer,brush, mop or roller. On vertical surfaces: Apply solution with a pump sprayer or deep-nap roller, working from the bottom to the top of the structure. Coverage Rate – Depending on wood age and species, surface
porosity, method of application, one (1) gallon of solution covers approximately 150 sq. ft. Brush or Pressure Wash:
Brush: Briefly scrub surface with Wolman WOODWORX® Deck
Brush or other stiff, short-bristle brush, using moderate pressure when brushing. Pressure wash: Use a 40° tip and 1,500-2,500 PSI for pressure
-treated wood and hardwood, 500-1,000 PSI for Cedar and Redwood. Move lengthwise with boards to avoid cut marks across grain. Either technique helps ensure old surface is entirely removed. Rinse: If pressure washing is not employed, after brushing, rinse
thoroughly with a garden hose, using the highest pressure nozzle setting available. On a vertical surface, continually rinse brightened areas to avoid streaking. Rinse any wood fibers off surrounding surfaces immediately. When dry, wood surface should appear clean, bright and free of mildew and algae stains. Recommended Number of Coats – Apply one (1) coat,
and allow to sit and foam for entire recommended time of 10 minutes. Heavily weathered, extremely dirty or badly stained areas may require a second application.
CAUTION: Bare wood and/or coated surfaces can become slippery when wet. Use caution when walking on wet surfaces. Clean Up: Clean tools and equipment after use with water.
