If the surface is in direct sun and hot to the touch, lightly dampen with water to cool before coating. Brush away standing water..
Make sure all surfaces not intended to be coated are covered.
RainCoat, is a water repellent sealer that will beautify and protect your deck for up to 3 years For this 600 sq. ft. deck, we'll be using 2 gallons.
Open RainCoat and briefly stir in the original container.
Mix both gallons together in the 5 gallon plastic pail and stir thoroughly to ensure a uniform color.
Apply first on the railings and spindles. Work from end to end on one board at a time, and maintain a wet edge.
For the area adjacent to your house, use a brush and apply evenly along the board.
For faster application, use your pump sprayer. Stir RainCoat in the pail again before pouring into the sprayer tank. When spraying, use long even strokes.
Moving in the direction of the wood grain, spray from end to end on one board at a time covering small sections of 5-10 boards of the deck floor.
Go back and backbrush the sealer into the wood with the stain brush. Backbrushing will accelerate sealer penetration, eliminate any drips or puddles and leave a neater, more even appearance when dry.
Resume spraying next section, backbrush and repeat, until the entire deck floor has been sealed.
Apply one coat of RainCoat for proper water repellency, mildew resistance and UV damage protection.
