Application:
2 coat application is recommended. Stir can thoroughly before use. For best results a pad applicator is recommended over large deck areas or a high quality natural bristle brush.

Use of a roller should be limited to rough surfaces only. Use 3/8 nap or longer when appropriate. A high-quality pump sprayer with a 0.015-0.019 tip may be used.
Work in small sections lightly saturating the surface and immediately back brush or use pad applicator to eliminate puddling. Remove excess coating with a dry pad applicator, brush or roller and evenly distribute the finish. Maintain a wet edge when applying. Apply product end to end or to board length to prevent lap marks. Do not over apply, over application will lead to surface failure, poor drying and/or uneven glossy finish.

Recoat Time: Allow 4-6 hours before applying 2nd coat. Allow 72 hours before returning furniture and heavy use.

Maintenance:
Sunlight, rain, snow and dew all take their toll on wood: minimize exposure wherever possible. Keep decks free of standing water. Minimize damage from snow and ice by using a calcium magnesium acetate product.
Sweep and blow leaves and other debris from trees and plants regularly.
Clean regularly each spring and fall with Penofin® Pro-Tech Cleaner and evaluate the finish.
