Surface must be clean, dry and in good condition. Remove all mildew, dirt, loose wood fibers, paint flakes, oil and grease. Repair or replace any loose, cracked or warped boards. 

All mildew (dark, fuzzy or powdery deposits) must be removed with a wood cleaner or the following solution: ¹⁄₃ cup heavy-duty laundry detergent to 1 quart household bleach to 3 quarts of warm water. Apply with a scrubbing brush. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry before staining. Wear protective eye goggles and waterproof gloves when handling solution.

DECK NOTE: Do not apply over clear finishes. Do not pre-treat or use a water-repellent preservative. Test the wood for factory treatment by sprinkling a few drops of water on the surface. If water is readily absorbed into the wood, proceed. If not, DO NOT apply ZAR® Deck & Siding Solid Color Stain. Wait five months and then retest.

Previously painted or Stained Wood
Clean previously painted surface thoroughly. Remove all loose or flaking paint by scraping. Sand glossy paint surfaces to improve adhesion.

Apply only when air and surface temperatures are between 40oF (4oC) and 95oF(35oC). DO NOT THIN. STIR THOROUGHLY before and during application. Do not apply if rain is expected within 24 hours. Apply using a brush, roller, foam pad applicator or by spray. If spraying, the coating should be dry brushed or back rolled for color uniformity. Apply 2 coats. Avoid applying in direct sunlight. May be sprayed, but application with a synthetic brush is recommended. Be sure to maintain a wet edge when applying.

Clean Up
Clean application tools immediately after use with warm soapy water.

Dispose of contaminated absorbent, container and unused contents in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.
